Verdict
Though carrying a double penalty, Aggy With It confirmed her well-being by easily winning a jumpers’ bumper at Kempton last month. She looks more progressive than Bit On The Side, who is also carrying 14lb extra. Docte Dina has now won two all-weather bumpers after her victory at Lingfield and she has placed over hurdles but stablemate FANTASTIC LADY was desperately unlucky at Warwick last time as she was in front when falling at the last and compensation awaits here if her confidence hasn’t been dented. Saturn 'n Silk has placed in all four hurdle starts to date but is looking a little exposed.
