In depth
Verdict
Plenty of runners but just two to concentrate on. Endless Escape's penalty for very easy victories at Lingfield and Wincanton may just scupper her hat-trick bid as VICKI VALE was equally impressive at Hereford before finding Grade 1 company in Newbury's Challow Hurdle much too hot. Thunderclap, three-times a winner on the Flat last summer, ran quite well on testing ground at Leicester and could run into a place while King Of Brazil has a bit of potential.
