Verdict
LITTLE MISS DANTE (NAP) won with plenty of authority at Ayr earlier in the month and she’ll take plenty of beating now taking a chance to compete against her own sex. Lucinda Russell has enjoyed significant success with her recruits from point-to-points so Lady In The Park has to be considered given the positive impression created in an Aintree bumper. Party Vibes tired close home at Chepstow though did enough to suggest she is up to winning races. Idylle Sauvage held plenty of entries and connections elect to go straight over hurdles on Rules debut.
