Verdict

Ballinure and Adrrastos have an identical record over fences having won two out of three. Accord made a winning start over the larger obstacles at Fontwell but Theo's Charm has yet to win in three attempts, though did win twice here over hurdles. MISS CRICK, very consistent over hurdles, makes her chasing bow but had Ballinure well behind over timber at Newton Abbot last time and is sure to have been well schooled. Ridgeway Flyer was a progressive sort over hurdles at the start of the year and is unlikely to fail through lack of fitness while Resolution Bay should also make a chaser.
