Verdict

Border Flora made a promising reappearance over 2m4f at Carlisle. Snatching the runners-up spot close home on that occasion, she looks sure to appreciate today's longer trip. Little Wizard has the form over shorter distances to figure in this but previous attempts at around this trip temper enthusiasm and the vote goes to BARDOLET. Things didn't go his way over a longer trip at Catterick last time but Keith Reveley's charge had won with a bit in hand over 3m1f before that and looks capable of going in again here.
