In depth

Verdict

Pembridge has only been placed twice in 10 career starts but Richard Johnson has been booked so it's safe to assume she is the pick of Adrian Wintle's pair. Bernisdale won on ground with some give on the Flat at Bath in September so should go well while Passing Fiesta was successful at Ffos Las in April, though pulled up subsequently at Towcester. SUNSHINE BUDDY (NAP) is 7lb lower than when third in this last year and has never finished out of the frame over hurdles here. David Noonan is proving excellent value for his 7lb claim so his mount gets the nod.
