Verdict

GOOD MAN VINNIE has been rather hit-or-miss under Rules so far but was second off this mark at Ludlow in November and could be the value against likely favourite Posh Totty, who made a winning start over fences at Warwick and has won 14 times between the flags – she holds Dancing Conquest on the form book. Bel Esprit didn’t win over hurdles but was lightly raced, though has been off the track for more than a year.
