Verdict
SMILING JESSICA isn’t particularly well treated but Gavin Cromwell has booked Brian Hughes for his mare who won at Musselburgh last year and stays this longer trip. Dotties Dilema is just preferred to Deadly Move of the two Peter Bowen runners. The former beat Shaiyzar at Southwell in November on his last appearance over fences but doesn’t always find a lot when push comes to shove. Northandsouth has changed yards since his second at Worcester and has never attempted a trip this far while Fiddlers Bow is having a first run since December and is another turning out for a new stable.
