Catterick winner Lady Netbetsports disappointed at Wetherby on Saturday and, even if lining up, is difficult to recommend on that evidence, so we prefer to side with Sue Smith's Bally's Bak, who gets the verdict over Reivers Moon. The last mentioned has run to a similar level of form in recent starts and is again entitled to be thereabouts but may once more have to settle for minor honours. Ferdy Murphy's Bonnie Parker has given little sign of encouragement so far in bumpers or on her hurdling debut but may be better than she has shown to date. Mary Reveley's Our Dream is interesting on her first start over hurdles, having shown respectable form in two starts in National Hunt flat races. Fakenham bumper winner Alexandra Parade ran with credit on her first start of the season at Perth and is another worthy of a mention but preference is for Bally's Bak. Sue Smith's mare showed ability in bumpers and stepped up on previous form over hurdles when a close third to Paphian Bay at Wetherby recently. The winner there ran well at the same venue on Saturday so the form has a solid look to it and Bally's Bak is taken to further enhance it here.
