In depth

Verdict

Seedless has already won at Bangor and Worcester this year but she may find the concession of 14lb to GLENORA GALE beyond her here. Lucinda Russell's mare was just outbattled by Cue To Cue on her hurdles debut at Newcastle but has a good opportunity to go one better today. Golden Sparkle's second to D'Gigi at Musselburgh was another decent effort and she will be pressing for a place again while Micro Mission won a point-to-point in April and could also play a part.
