Verdict
Allavina is interesting back over hurdles as she is 3-5 over the smaller obstacles, though having a first run for a new yard. Rock Of Fame is 0-12 and hard to catch right while Addosh has failed to complete in two starts since scoring at Southwell in June. Cup Of Coffee was upsides eventual winner MULLENBEG when crashing out at the second last at Fakenham and is 6lb better off. The latter had to be kept up to her work in the closing stages to score but was probably idling and she may be capable of better. Irresistable has had a wind operation and changed stables since finding Grade 3 company too hot at Cheltenham in April.
