Verdict

The diminutive NACHI FALLS has been struggling on unsuitably soft ground this year. He won here and at Fontwell last summer and is back on a winning mark with Kieran Buckley taking off an additional 7lb. Max Kendrick has enjoyed some success riding for Fergal O’Brien and partners the maiden She's A Novelty, who was second in a maiden here last September. The four-year-old Ronde De Nuit is probably better than he’s shown so far and Floy Joy has hinted at ability over hurdles and won a jumper’s bumper in February. Pasley has become expensive to follow, however.
