      Verdict

      Kim Bailey has sent SAINTE LADYLIME on the long journey here to complete her hat-trick after victories at Wincanton and Towcester. She did well to score at the latter track as her saddle slipped and she made a couple of mistakes and though having to concede 12lb all round here should have no problems continuing her winning run. Rose Dobbin has two entries with winning point-to-pointer Amys Choice the likely first choice though it was almost two years ago that she scored between the flags and she disappointed when favourite on her hurdling debut at Newcastle last month. Miss Tiggy looks the main threat as she did very well to finish runner-up on her hurdling debut over the course and distance in December though she was never travelling when pulled up at Carlisle last month. Stay in My Heart has now run 29 times over hurdles and a dozen times on the Flat without winning.
