Verdict
Nicky Henderson sent out last year’s winner and MARMALAID may prove the one to side with in a weak contest. She tended to jump left at Exeter on her hurdling bow and this track will help on that score. Becky The Boo has failed to build on an earlier second at Doncaster and failed to complete last time but is still preferred of the remainder ahead of Oseleta.
