In depth
Verdict
By leading NH sire King's Theatre, Native Beauty looked a nice prospect when beating Bygones Sovereign and previous winner Financial Climate at Towcester. But she may meet her match here in BABY SHINE, who was a smart performer in bumpers last season and shrugged off a nine-month absence to readily account for the odds-on Tempest River at Leicester last month. Lucy Wadham's mare should strip fitter today and can follow up. Points winner Ballyboker Boy found only Top Of The Range too good on his hurdling debut at Ffos Las while Talkonthestreet was only beaten a length when third at Taunton in December and should be winning soon. It's A Gimme has been taking on decent opposition and should also go close but the jury is out at present on Hindon Road and Kruzhlinin.
