Verdict

THE WICKET CHICKEN was second to the odds-on Irish Roe last time but had earlier won her hurdling debut at Fontwell in good style. She has little to fear from these and can defy a penalty. Barely Black finished a well beaten runner-up here earlier but failed to show any improvement at Cartmel last month while Shine Away has been off the track for over a year and Mac Bella has shown nothing so far.
