Verdict
Methag won in this grade at Huntingdon last week and carries 7lb extra. Sienna Royale was placed at Exeter on her reappearance and can also figure but OUR NEST EGG found only one too good in a higher grade contest at Huntingdon at the start of the month. Beaten less than a length on that occasion, Paul Henderson’s mare is taken to go one better. Age Of Wisdom has won the Flat since last seen over hurdles back in April while The Mighty Ash was placed over fences when last in action though has yet to win.
