Verdict

Chequered View won over fences last month but Really Super didn’t take to the larger obstacles at Worcester. Peggies Venture has a chance if cheekpieces have the desired effect but FIELD EXHIBITION was in the process of running a sound race at Exeter last week when badly hampered at the second last. That run should have blown away a few cobwebs but today’s going is likely to be too quick for the returning Dinos Benefit and Belle Empress. Kentford Heiress has been out of sorts since returning from a break and Stephanie Sunshine has it all to do from out of the handicap.
