Verdict
A sloppy round of jumping put paid to the chances of WYE AYE when sent off favourite at Market Rasen and he was eventually pulled-up in the heavy ground. Only 4lb higher than when winning over track and trip in November, he gets another chance having also undergone wind surgery since. First Assembly was placed for the fourth time in succession when second at Plumpton and Ladronne is preferred dropping down in class for this while Seaside Girl makes more appeal than Leskinfere, who remains a maiden.
