Verdict
Marju King was given a superb ride by young Thomas Garner to beat Sunny Spells at Uttoxeter but the runner-up is expected to turn the tables over the longer trip here on 7lb better terms. A market move for Rocky Ryan would be significant but chaser Alldunnandusted looks too high in the weights and Well Mett ran poorly, despite dropping in grade, at Fakenham last time. RIVERMOUTH was a fair third when reverting to hurdles at Wincanton last month and, with Nathan Adams taking off a valuable 10lb here, Laura Mongan's seven-year-old could be the one today.
