Verdict

Lady Of Fortune, No More Money, Penny's Crown, Phar And Away and Triggerlino form our shortlist here, with the vote going to No More Money. The Henrietta Knight-trained six-year-old has shown plenty of promise in two bumper runs and, arguably, holds the best form on view here. Penny's Crown has also shown promise on her three bumper outings and has a first run for a new stable now, while Phar And Away is bound to improve for her debut second in a slowly-run Uttoxeter bumper, as there is plenty to like about her breeding. Both Nicky Henderson and Venetia Williams saddle newcomers here, these being Lady Of Fortune and Triggerlino, respectively, and the market will probably prove the best guide to their chances. The same can be said of a few of the others, including Lily Saunders, whose dam won over hurdles, albeit in a Wetherby seller. But, with the form in the book, to us the best option looks to be No More Money.
