In depth

Verdict

Facing soft ground for the first time, HEAVEN SCENT was far from disgraced when fourth at Exeter and is probably on a decent mark. She may be able to take advantage of the 12lb she receives from Tsundoku, raised 7lb for scoring over a similar trip at Wetherby where maiden Feeltherhythm was tailed off. It’s no surprise to see My Little Cracker back over a hurdles after a spell chasing and she looks the pick of the remainder as Bollin Julie is 9lb wrong in the weights and badly out of sorts.
