It was good ground when BAZAROV won at Hereford recently and the runner-up Veiled Secret boosted the form by winning earlier this week - Archie Watson’s charge is taken to go in again. Snippetydoodah scored over track and trip in March last year and will be sharper for a recent comeback while Molliana won at Fakenham last month but could only manage third off today’s higher mark on her latest start. Fading Icon looks a bigger threat on her second at Fontwell and she can figure while a better effort on the Flat at Kempton last time may herald an upturn in fortune for Age Of Wisdom back over hurdles.
