In depth

Verdict

Dragon Bones has won three of her four starts over hurdles and was disputing the lead when swerving and unseating her rider in the other but PADSTOW HARBOUR gets 4lb and gradually warmed to her task at Southwell at the end of March to beat a subsequent winner with a bit in hand. Collateral form suggests she might just have the measure of Largy G and Harry Fry’s lightly-raced mare is also preferred to Wincanton runner-up So Said I.
