Verdict
LEE SIDE LADY has a first and a second from two previous runs over course and distance. She's 6lb higher than when successful in May but can still complete the hat-trick with recent Flat winners Fine Resolve and Ali Bin Nayef still having plenty to prove over hurdles. The latter, however, is unexposed while Opechee showed a bit more on his handicap debut at Southwell at the start of the month. Dothraki Raider looks very moderate.
