Verdict

Centreofexcellence did well over fences last year but an absence since November is a bit of a concern. Billy Hicks needs a soft surface so any rain that falls is to his benefit but Show’s Over looks a few pounds too high in the weights. Johnny Yuma beat MISS AMELIA just over three lengths at Hexham last month and followed up at Southwell when Anti Cool was a distant third. Katy Price’s gelding is progressing but surely not enough to defy a 16lb rise so Daryl Jacob’s mount can take her revenge. Lerichi Belle continues to disappoint.
