Verdict

Having previously proved disappointing over fences, MARIGOLDS WAY has got her act together over the larger obstacles lately and is still on a decent mark. The mare has struck up a good understanding with Rachael Green and she is fancied to follow up her Exeter win here. Life Of A Luso conjured a late burst to land the spoils over C&D 11 days ago but may be worth opposing today off an 8lb higher mark and just as interesting is Alldunnandusted, who is well treated on his hurdles form and was beaten less than a length by Curragh Dancer at Plumpton on his latest outing. She's On The Case was making her chasing debut when runner-up at Worcester and looks the pick of the remainder.
