SHENEEDEDTHERUN can make the most of her experience to beat her two rivals. She boast an impressive strike-rate over fences and simply got tired making her return to action over 3m4f at Haydock. Rose Of Aghaboe was well beaten off this mark at Southwell in December but has won a jumpers’ bumper since and looks a bigger danger than Lucca Lady, who does go well here but has shown little since returning from a break.
