Verdict

Di's Dilemma is turning into a professional loser and is difficult to pick, and so we will pin our hopes on Sharp Single, with Clouding Over also expected to run well. Peter Beaumont's mare returns to hurdling after a year long spell over the larger obstacles. She has put in some very good performances including a recent second behind Parknasilla. She gets in here on a very decent mark and could go close at a decent price. Di's Dilemma has done well against some seasoned handicappers on her last two outings and will be very hard to keep out the money again today. Clouding Over was a faller at Musselburgh last time, but had previously finished third in a couple of decent handicaps. If her confidence hasn't been dented she should be involved in the finish. Armentieres looks best of the remainder, but Sharp Single could have been let in lightly here and gets the decision.
