Verdict

Jollie Bollie could scarcely have been more impressive when making a winning seasonal reappearance over this trip at Folkestone last month and is the TEAMtalk choice to follow up. The Venetia Williams-trained mare travelled well throughout before easing to the front approaching the final flight and showed a bright turn of foot to seal victory in a matter of strides. Proven in testing conditions and with further improvement to come, this lightly raced type can offset a subsequent 8lb rise. Ravenswood will be a danger if back to the same level of form that saw him land three valuable handicaps last term but was most disappointing on his return last month and now has something to prove. El Monty has shaped as though he will appreciate this step up in trip but lacks a recent run while Hawkes Run needs to improve on his recent effort at Chepstow to figure. Oliver Cromwell has run moderately over fences of late and returns to hurdling on a stiff mark while Prokofiev is on a longish losing sequence and is readily opposed on this occasion.
