Verdict

SOMETHINBOUTANGELA started off between the flags so, even though she won over timber in Ireland, was always likely to make a better chaser than hurdler and she had a run at Market Rasen last month where she was only headed at the last. Dr Hooves won over this trip at Musselburgh in February and has had wind surgery since while Court Dreaming won over hurdles here in 2018. Western Aussie, who has been very lightly raced, looks the pick of the remainder.
