Verdict

Sur Empire remains 7lb higher than when winning at Carlisle last month and TTAINTED LOVE is less exposed. She posted her best effort in a handicap so far when going close at Wolverhampton and Chris Wall's filly may come out best. Interconnection has a shout back in this lower grade while Hickster was placed the last time he raced over today's distance. Favorite Girl has won three times over hurdles since last see on the Flat and Taurian is not badly weighted if staying the longer trip.
