Verdict
Cascaye turned over the odds-on Little Miss Poet at Exeter last time, when Drewmain Legend was a well-beaten fourth, despite drifting off a straight line on the run-in. She’ll be fancied to defy her penalty with Irish import Smaoineamh Alainn having her first run for Robert Walford and making her debut over hurdles. But MULTIGIFTED showed enough when fifth at Newbury to suggest she’ll make a race of it here if she jumps a little better - Michael Madgwick’s filly won over 2m on Polytrack last year.
