      In depth

      Verdict

      Again a race lacking strength in depth and this looks the ideal opening for Opal'Lou, who has shown more than enough to suggest she can win an ordinary novice chase. All she need do in this is put in a clear round to collect. She may be followed home by Leader Supreme, who was staying on when coming to grief at Fakenham on Friday. Providing she is none the worse for that tumble, she may give Paul Nicholls' mare the most to do. Lady Turk, who has only completed once in four outings over fences, may be good enough for the minor honours.
