In depth

Verdict

Susie Sheep will be fancied to go one better than when second at Huntingdon last month, when Element Quartet was well behind, but may find MISS SERIOUS (NAP) too strong. Jeremy Scott's mare was always going to improve for the switch to hurdles but her run behind a couple of previous winners at Wincanton must have delighted connections and she should have plenty more to offer. Chantara Rose, placed three times in bumpers and third on her second start over hurdles at Towcester, isn't out of this while Rosie Revenue is surely better than she showed at Southwell.
