Verdict
PYLEIGH LASS easily won a mares' novices' hurdle at Wincanton earlier this month and the second has franked the form since. She still looks to be a on a decent mark here and should take all the beating. Wilde Ruby has been knocking on the door and should be winning soon but the better ground is a worry for penalised Newton Abbot winner Call Me Sir and Nutin Fancy has disappointed since finishing a close second at Chepstow in January. Comeonginger is worth a second look on his handicap debut while Cinevator will strip fitter for his run at Uttoxeter, but may need to drop a few pounds before winning again.
