Verdict

Not the strongest of races to round off the card and La Marette is fancied to exploit any weaknesses in her opponents; with Royal Niece and Fiddles Music expected to give her the most to do. That said, Miss Rideamight has found her racing shoes of late and, assuming that she has got over her final flight tumble in a seller at Folkestone just over a fortnight ago, she can again go close in this company. Fiddles Music won on heavy ground when she raced on the Flat, so the ground is not an issue with her. However, she has taken a little time to adapt to hurdles and needs to prove that her latest effort was not just a one-off. She remains a risky option for win only purposes. Royal Niece is a lightly raced sort that is going the right way for a race of this nature. Still, a line through the much-improved The Local leaves her with a little to find with La Marette, whose profile is solid enough for her to be given the vote in the finale.
