Dewasentah can beat Didn't You Know, with Reem Two, Noun De La Thinte and Miss Pross best of her rivals. Dewasentah has yet to encounter truly fast ground, but her trainer is not one to run them on unsuitable going, so she will not fail on that score. She should benefit from the drop back in trip as well, as she just seemed to run out of petrol at Hexham last time, and in a race that will take little winning, she appeals as much as anything. Didn't You Know was fancied on her bumper debut here, but Pipe's runner only got going when it was all over. Noun De La Thinte has had two runs over hurdles in testing ground in France, and now makes her debut for Venetia Williams. She has been off since February and is best watched, while of the rest, Miss Pross is worth keeping an eye on as she has experience over timber and took on fair company last year in the context of this race. Without being too confident though, Dewasentah should prove to be the answer.
