Verdict

LOVEHERANDLEAVEHER ended last season with a maiden win over timber and showed promise on her chasing debut at Southwell when runner-up over a longer trip. Today’s distance will suit better and Nicky Henderson’s mare may prove the one to side with. Top And Drop missed out on a four-timer on her reappearance and has something to prove off her current mark while Troubled Soul was placed yet again when runner-up at Warwick and will likely find at least one too good again. Inch Lala is another regularly in the mix and is back on a winning mark while Everlanes has a shout on a recent third in heavy going at Wincanton.
