This could rest between Ostfanni and Great View, with the former getting the nod, Bethanys Boy and Zarova are also expected to be in the firing line. The selection returned from a break to finish five lengths behind Greenwich Meantime in a competitive race at Haydock. She has since landed a a couple of hurdle races in great style. She appears to be on the upgrade and should go close on this return to the level. Great View is one that certainly deserves another victory having gone very close on numerous occasions this season. His latest effort behind Etching at Warwick was another solid performance and he looks nailed on for some place money here. Bethanys Boy an impressive winner of a seller last time, and Zarova, successful in in a competitive Ripon handicap last time are both entitled to be there or thereabouts as well. So all in all another headache for punters, but Ostfanni is the one we think will collect this afternoon.
