Verdict
Methodtothemadness has the best recent form though her efforts at Bangor came in a lower grade. Upton Road and Batman For Ever may improve for last month’s outings and the same can be said of RATH AN IUIR. The latter landed this contest off a 12lb higher mark in 2020 and Rose Dobbin’s charge gets the speculative vote to return to form. Equus Dreamer went close over these fences back in February and Geordie B won a hunters’ chase over track and trip in March.
