Verdict
If earlier results have gone her way, Venetia Williams' may already have a couple of winners on the board and she can end proceedings with another in LOWER HOPE DANDY. He found only one too good over C&D last time and is fancied to confirm running with the re-opposing Legal Legend who was not far behind in third. Rum Ginney showed some promise on her debut at Fakenham and makes more appeal than Red Burn and Giles Dream, but the booking of McCoy for newcomer Maisey Milan takes the eye and she could prove a bigger threat.
