Verdict

Bumper winner Always Managing will have to brush up her jumping if she's to make her mark over hurdles. Aces Over Eights have been disappointing over timber so far but this represents a drop in class and not many of her rivals have shown a great deal so far. MONBEG DOLLY is a possible exception as she's been placed in a point-to-point and a bumper and would probably have finished in the frame had she not blundered and unseated Wilson Renwick at the last on her hurdling debut at Bangor in February. She has a bit of scope so gets the vote.
