Verdict

Miss Conway is 9lb higher than when beating Reverse The Charge in this 12 months ago but she’s been running well enough to suggest she’ll go close to a repeat. Lambourn raider Bestwork won at Towcester last month and but French import Martiloo may need more time to acclimatise and Ballycool is hard to catch right nowadays. Brother Scott has only won once in 26 starts over fences so the vote goes to WOT A SHOT. The top weight looked to be coming to hand over hurdles last time and was in good form over fences last summer.
