Verdict
JANESLITTLEVOICE looked ready for a rest when a beaten favourite at Hexham less than two weeks ago but normally jumps better than she did that day and could take some pegging back here if getting into a rhythm. Bensini still has stamina to prove over this trip but just came up short at Southwell latest while Doctor Foley can be forgiven his run when on a hat-trick at Newton Abbot in May as that came just seven days after an earlier victory there. Astroman was tailed off on his only previous try over fences and will need to improve on that.
