Verdict

FLORAL BOUQUET gave notice of an imminent victory when runner-up at Warwick then landed a Class 3 handicap at Uttoxeter. A 4lb rise may not prevent a double. Three-times hurdles winner Viking Ruby makes her chasing bow while Redbridge Gold was a long way behind the selection at Uttoxeter. Get An Oscar hails from a yard in form and ran her best race for some time over hurdles here last month though she pulled up in the race won by Kiera Royale here in February. That was on heavy going and the winner has been unable to replicate the run on quicker ground.
