Verdict
Nora The Xplorer is pretty consistent and best over this sort of trip nowadays but DICEY RIELLY seemed to enjoy a switch back to hurdles at Worcester and may be capable of defying a 7lb rise. Miss Milano may be in the handicapper’s grip now but Emily Wade should be in the firing-line again even though she’s been creeping up the weights without winning. Born Famous will need to improve again to complete the hat-trick.
