Verdict

Sunshine Leader showed plenty of promise on her chasing bow when a staying-on second over two miles at Wetherby last month. The seven-year-old has proven form in the mud and should appreciate the step up in trip so is handed the TEAMtalk vote. Regal Holly was a useful hurdler but appears to have lost her way and is far from certain to stay on ground this testing while Mrs Duf is best watched on her return and Just A Minute was disappointing last time.
