Verdict
Let Her Loose was in fine form over the trip last summer and returned to form in a similar race under Brodie Hampson at Haydock earlier this month. Geelong's only victory was on Tapeta back in 2021 and he's been looking high enough in the weights. Nevendon has been in winning form over hurdles and Serena Brotherton is a very positive booking but HIDDEN PEARL was always travelling like a winner at Yarmouth and though dropping back from 1m6f should have enough pace to complete a double. Cirrus ran very well on her penultimate start on fast ground at Lingfield but is still a maiden after 26 starts.
