In depth
Verdict
Scudamore won over 1m6f on the Flat in the summer and was fourth back over hurdles at Stratford. Redbridge Rosie may be better than she’s shown so far but this step up in trip is expected to suit the former pointer DOIREANN (NAP), who has placed in four of her seven starts so far over hurdles and has had a wind operation since last seen. Secret Trix is certain to have benefited from a recent run at Perth and looks a threat while Camulus has been knocking on the door lately.
