In depth

Verdict

Western Safire has a penalty for a very convincing success on her hurdling debut at Uttoxeter and may find the concession of 4lb to MISS LAMB beyond her. A dual bumper winner, Jedd O'Keeffe's mare has been a bit disappointing in two runs over timber at Wetherby but gets another chance here. Virtuoso, a winner on the Flat, has been well beaten in both starts over timber but Golden Glance is an interesting newcomer having been beaten just a length on her third start for the Crisfords at Kempton in September.
