Verdict

Rosserk Abbey has won and been placed in just two starts here back in 2019 though hasn't been in the best of form. Fenrir Binding has been strongly supported in his last two starts over fences without showing much while Blackfinch was beaten a long way when third at Huntingdon. SIENNA ROYALE (NAP), a winner at Fontwell in March, bounced back with a fine run over the track and trip last month when caught right on the line. She's up 3lb but that form would probably suffice. Just Go For It was a very impressive winner at Hereford in February but has fallen in two of her last four starts.
