Verdict

Green Or Black was well backed at Sedgefield last month following wind surgery but again let down supporters - she is now 0-9 over hurdles and not one to trust. Let's Sway has generally struggled since winning at Wincanton in May and again carries a penalty. FORTIA was only beaten a neck in a maiden at Worcester last time. Her stable is starting to show signs of life and she remains relatively unexposed. Katie Connell won a bumper for Willie Mullins but didn’t show much over hurdles. Now with Philip Hobbs, she will need to up her game.
