Verdict
Molly's A Diva is surely a lot better than she showed when favourite at Warwick last month, though she has something to find now with Blue Buttons. Point-to-point and bumper winner Abigail Lynch could be an interesting recruit but this may be fought out by the two penalized mares with CENTASIA preferred to Woodland Walk. The latter's jumping left a bit desired at Huntingdon and she'll have to improve in that area to trouble the Pipe mare, who was very accomplished at her obstacles when beating another nice prospect, The Pirate's Queen, at Uttoxeter. Mrs Jordan may be best of the rest.
