Verdict

Missgoodytwoshoes is likely to be popular here but she's worth taking on with another Irish challenger, Posh Bird. The selection has had just the two starts under Rules and finished well beaten on both of them but she shaped with distinct promise on her hurdling bow over an inadequate trip last time and we expect her to find considerable improvement now that she's stepped up to a trip more in keeping with her breeding; the booking of O'Regan also takes the eye. Missgoodytwoshoes will be better suited by the demands of this track than Aintree and should finish closer but she has had her share of opportunities. Capparoe Cross is bred to stay this far and can be given a chance on the form that she has shown over shorter whilst Present only found one too good last time and should go well if lasting home. There are no such concerns for the selection though and Posh Bird can fly home.
