Verdict

Having been gambled on FRATAS stepped up on her recent stable debut when runner up in a big-field handicap hurdle here 3 days ago, looking unfortunate to bump into such a progressive rival. She's gone well here in the past and could be worth siding with from a reduced mark back in this sphere. Granville Street is another boasting good course form and is feared along with last year's winner Thatwilldoso. Superficial is another in with a shout.
