Verdict
Vinnieslittle Lamb scored over fences at Towcester but came a cropper on her latest start at the same track. Cloudy Spirit has been placed in a chase but that was back in 2013 and MRS PEACHEY makes more appeal. The latter is superior to all of these over hurdles and finished a lot closer on only her second start over the larger obstacles when fourth at Ludlow last time. Hopstrings may prove best of the remainder.
