Verdict
Snow Leopardess looks a worthy favourite as she only had to be pushed out to land a similarly well-contested Listed handicap at Newbury last time. She has gone up 12lb for that but the second has franked the form since and ground and trip are in her favour again today, though Theatre Territory should get a lot closer today on much better terms. Indian Stream ran a cracker here last month in the Mares’ Hurdle considering she’d been chasing previously but sixth Midnight Tour comes out best at the weights today and should again beat The Organist. ON DEMAND has not run a bad race since joining Colin Tizzard and she’ll enjoy going back over a more suitable distance today. She may be some value but Carnspindle is still 4lb wrong in the weights despite winning her last two. Mariah's Legend looks best of the rest.
