Verdict

COTTON END has placed in better races than this over fences and won five times over hurdles so looks the one to be on with Swapped continuing to disappoint. Miss Antipova is an 11-year-old 19-race maiden while Huntingdon second Lough Carra is 0-13. Deer Hunter and Paddy's Return may be the pick of the remainder.
