Verdict
Haven Lady displayed a decent form level during the winter and much depends on her taking that level forward on to this surface. She's yet to make the frame in three Turf starts but this looks a weak contest and she should be on the premises at least. In contrast, BELVEDERE BLAST is experienced on Turf and the best of his form puts him in here with solid claims. A recent outing over hurdles at Hexham should ensure he is fit and ready for this assignment. Ann Duffield landed a big pot with N'golo in the Swinton Hurdle on Saturday and will be hoping for a big run from recent Thirsk fourth Go Fox.
