Verdict

LAHARNA makes the selection here and should have the edge over Green Gamble and Silver Adonis. Lucy Wadham's charge got no further than the seventh fence when sent off as favourite at Market Rasen last time but had previously scored at Plumpton despite being hampered at a crucial stage. Green Gamble returned from a break to win at Kempton last time, making most to score well and has to be a threat. Silver Adonis goes well on this decent ground as he showed when winning at Wincanton last time but Laharna makes most appeal to retrieve the Market Rasen losses.
