Verdict
AM I BLUE won this last year off a 5lb higher mark and hinted at a revival when making much of the running at Hereford earlier this month. A repeat could be on the cards as a few of these have questions to answer at present. The four-year-old Schism has her fair share of weight while Bellaboosh and Mavalenta have been off the track for a few months. Rio Alto's recent victory came in a point-to-point while Southwell bumper winner Glen Countess has disappointed over hurdles and Derwen Pryde is going to need some help from the handicapper if she's to get her head back in front.
