Verdict

MISS ALOUD takes a step up in trip but should be suited. She was having only her second start over hurdles when runner-up to the odds-on Yukon Lil at Naas, when the remainder were well beaten, and can go one better. Glorious Lady has been in excellent form, scoring twice before tackling Listed company at Haydock where she was by no means disgraced. She beat Aurora Thunder narrowly at Kelso but the latter, who had easily won a course and distance maiden earlier, has a chance of reversing the form on slightly better terms. With Brian Hughes booked, Lily's Gem looks best of Stuart Crawford's raiders as Largy Princess makes her debut over timber.
