Verdict

SURTEE DU BERLAIS has gone well fresh before and comes out best on these terms as she makes her chasing debut. Miss Crick has the more recent form over timber but has 6lb to find with the selection and the consistent Two Swallows has even more to find on her first outing since April. Sheneededtherun looks up against it at the weights while Tacenda is the only one with experience of fences having placed at Exeter, though that was in December of last year.
