Verdict

Zermatt and Madrasa have proved most disappointing over hurdles and the latter looks held on collateral form by CEILIDH. Nick Alexander's mare ran easily her best race so far when second to Sendiym at Musselburgh and repeat here would probably suffice. Lowcarr Motion has a chance on his latest third at Catterick and likewise Ayr third Westend Theatre, who wasn't beaten far earlier when fourth over this track and trip. The once-useful Montaff is looking a light of former days now.
