In depth

Verdict

Tweedledrum found only one too good at Kempton last month and makes more appeal on that evidence than both Scarlett O'Tara and Bold Tara. Ninfea showed a big improvement when runner-up at Taunton last time with Miss Exhibitionist behind and he was of similar ability on the Flat to Compassion, who has joined Emma Lavelle and has her first start over hurdles today. MS CORDELIA was a winner on the level in France and wasn't disgraced on her hurdling debut for David Pipe when beaten six lengths at Catterick. She'll need to improve on that here but is expected to do so and can open her account.
