Verdict
Addosh beat ILE DE JERSEY, La Renommee and Pump It Up at Huntingdon last month but all of those behind re-oppose on more favourable terms. Nicky Henderson’s filly started favourite that day and can recoup losses. Malakahna beat Aliomaana at Fakenham back in October but is now 14lb worse off and the latter did win at Wincanton two runs ago. Magic Word was the subject of a gamble at Naas in February and closing on the leader when falling at the last. She remains unexposed while Grivetana won easily at Chepstow on her second start for Paul Nicholls and looks a better bet than fellow French import Irresistable.
