Verdict

Indefatigable was engaged in the 3.35 here yesterday. MARTELLO SKY is a tough mare and this is probably her best trip. She is back on the same mark as when landing this 12 months ago and a repeat may be on the cards. Nico de Boinville is 2-2 on Theatre Glory and replaces a conditional on the five-year-old, who hadn’t been asked a serious question when unseating her rider at Newbury two weeks ago. Herewegohoney won over fences at Catterick last time but had useful form over hurdles last season while Nina The Terrier was a fair fifth in the Greatwood over 2m here last month. I Spy A Diva is on a roll but this is a step up in class with Branson Missouri also likely to find this tough. Lady Adare defends an unbeaten record but is making her handicap debut after a lay-off.
