Verdict
It's no easy to task to shoulder a penalty at this level though Southwell scorer Tilinisi is anticipated to have plenty of supporters having placed here on debut. Warren Greatrex has developed a reputation as a trainer of bumper winners and VIOLETS GIRL can be his latest runner to hit the target. The Harry Redknapp-owned mare was third on her debut at Worcester and she is anticipated to have learned plenty for that experience. Chosen Destiny is surely better than her latest outing at Taunton suggests. Connections have given her time to get over that effort and their patience may yet be rewarded. Robert Stephens has shown himself capable of returning horses from very long absences so it would be no surprise to see Jazz Thyme figuring at longer odds.
