Verdict

Goodgirlteresa landed a double over fences last month and can race off the same mark as when successful at Chepstow but has yet to win in 11 starts over timber. BIG PICTURE (NAP) is preferred as it was testing going when he scored over course and distance in December and he can defy a rise in the weights having beaten a subsequent winner six lengths on that occasion. Tara Well went close on fast ground at Leicester last time while Rule The Ocean had been threatening to score before struggling at Hereford. Astra Via is the least exposed and could figure now handicapping for the first time.
