Verdict
Misstree Song would surely have won at Newton Abbot last month had she not fallen at the last. Her wayward jumping will always be a concern but she should be thereabouts in this with a clear round. Useful in bumpers, WHO WHAT WHEN (NAP) ran her best race to date over timber when second at Fontwell on her reappearance. She is best on good ground and can go one better here. Jungle Prose won a bumper at Warwick on her fourth outing but her lack of experience could get exposed by her likely market rivals with a similar comment applying to Waterlefe Getaway.
