In depth
Verdict
Suzy's Music was lucky to land a point-to-point at Kirkistown in November and hasn't shown much over hurdles. Landmeafortune showed her first sign of ability at Sedgefield in November but was wearing a first-time hood which is dispensed with here. Hatton Springs has yet to prove she acts on the ground while Kashstaree, who looked quite promising when scoring at Musselburgh a year ago, has gone backwards. Redpender enters the fray in poor form though all three of his victories have been on the track, the last two over fences. DISCOVERIE has been an expensive failure in his last two starts but hasn't been beaten far in either and should be up to winning this.
