      Verdict

      Bumper winner, POLLY’S PURSUIT made a promising start over hurdles when just missing out to Irish Roe over a shorter trip here last month. Nicky Henderson’s charge will likely prove a popular choice in this. Dont Tell Val also posted a good effort at Cartmel recently and can figure but Insight was still beaten a long way when runner-up at the same track last time. Barely Black and Dudette have shown nothing so far and the newcomer Ask Catkin is preferred.
