Verdict
A few arrive in good heart but with question marks against them too. Wyfield Rose, in good heart over hurdles this term, would have been the choice on just her second start over fences. However, all her form is on better ground and she's reluctantly passed over. Vision De La Vie battled home here the last day in a higher grade race but off a very low weight and now finds himself towards the head of handicap. He's only six though so open to any amount of improvement over fences and a prominent showing is expected. MOLLIES GENT didn't go at all badly on her first chasing run under Rules at Uttoxeter and has plenty of soft and heavy ground form in the book in the point-to-point field and makes some appeal in an open race as she should improve for that recent experience. Off a low mark, she gets the vote with the quirky Heart O Annandale nominated as the danger if Shane Shortall can coax and finesse him round.
