Verdict

Winning form is a bit thin on the ground in this but Sisania did score on similar going at Fontwell last summer and wears a visor for the first time here. MIDNIGHT GYPSY won at Hereford in October but was then beaten when favourite at Ludlow. She’s had a break but has her ground on her reappearance and the booking of Nico de Boinville is a positive sign. Lady Longshot only found a subsequent winner too good at Wincanton in March but has shown her best form lately when there has been more give in the ground.
