      In depth

      Verdict

      Miss M tries her luck over fences having won on the Flat and over hurdles but she has become expensive to follow. Arizona Glory won over fences at Worcester at the 10th attempt but is 8lb higher now and giving 13lb to IMPERIAL JOE. Tim Dennis’ six-year-old did win over hurdles but his future may lie over the larger obstacles given his pointing background. Passing Secrets has finished second four times in chases and may find one too good again.
