Verdict

No obvious standout although the best recent form is Mighty Meggsie's useful Tramore runner-up effort and Paul Townend is booked for the Harington mare. Aubretia's best form brings her into contention but recent efforts have been less positive and it will be interesting to see what the market makes of her chance. Hurdling recruit Dawn Of The West is another to require a market check as she has only had a single start since September 2019 but does have a Flat win to her name. Millies Mite has bits and pieces of form at this level but a chance is taken on MARICRUZ, a four-time Flat winner and who shaped quite well on just a second hurdles start last month.
