Verdict

Recent Exeter winner JEWELLERY (NAP) is narrowly preferred to According To Sarah as she gets on well with 7lb claimer Paul John while Philip Hobbs' mare seems to need plenty of driving and may not the ideal mount for an inexperienced jockey. Double Silver will do well to land this under top weight on her first start since May last year while Epee Celeste is a bit of an enigma, though wasn't beaten far off this mark last time at Huntingdon. Combustible Lady was pulled up on her only previous try over fences.
