Verdict

Dollys Destination won her bumper on this card a year ago and Gary McGill’s mare has had only two runs over hurdles so far. But the four-year-old GEMOLOGIST may have her measure if she can rediscover the form she showed when close up in maidens at Doncaster and Musselburgh last season. She probably found 2m4f too far in a handicap at Musselburgh last time. See The Sea has more scope and looks a threat to all after finishing second on her jumps debut at Huntingdon – she won three times on the Flat, including once on soft going.
