Verdict

Russian Rumour couldn’t handle the step up to Listed company at Haydock but the Lingfield winner is still preferred to the Ludlow scorer Holly Hartingo, who is also penalised. A good run from Lady Jane P earlier on the card would boost their chances of HILLFINCH, who was just behind that one in a Listed bumper here last month when Stoppers Sista was tailed off. Galante De Romay has a nice pedigree but may need today’s experience and Parisian Blue was pulled up at Wincanton on her hurdles bow.
