Verdict

Osmosia always seems to pop up when least expected but she's possibly better treated over hurdles at present. Popaflora has his first run for Dan Skelton but did win at Tipperary around this time last year and Beauchamp Viking has been gradually rediscovering his form lately. THE INFORMANT has turned over a new leaf this year and is bidding for s fourth win in six starts. He had less than a length to spare over June French at Plumpton last time but idled in front and is only a couple of pounds worse off so can complete his hat-trick.
