        Verdict

        Although there are plenty of runners, this isn't that competitive and offers Maiden Voyage a fine opportunity to follow up her recent win, on similar ground at Hereford . Paul Webber's five-year-old wasn't winning out of turn there, as she had been placed on her four previous outings. The first time visor clearly had the desired effect and if it works a second time, she should take all the beating. The main threat may come from former useful flat performer Alpha Rose, who came to hurdling rather late, but showed enough on her debut over timber to suggest a little race can come her way. Dual bumper winner Aifung is an interesting contender. Bob Buckler's mare has been very impressive in small fields, having beaten a total of 12 horses in two outings. however, she could do no more than win, but she may be better suited by a stiffer test than she is likely to get here.
