      Verdict

      Banjo Girl was runner-up over a longer trip here back in March and has her first start since. But PASSING CALL is preferred as she went close over 2m at Uttoxeter earlier this month when clear of the rest and Alan King sent out last year’s winner. Mountain Path was placed at Worcester earlier but could only manage a modest fifth last time while Ghinia has won three times on the Flat and makes her hurdling debut along with Oksana and Lady Master.
