Verdict

Easter In Paris beat Lakeshore Lady a length at Hereford last month but the runner-up has a good chance of reversing the placings on today’s terms. FRANK N FAIR has won around here over hurdles and he wasn’t disgraced last time at Plumpton, despite finishing last of the three runners - that was a better race than this. Kayflin has a poor strike-rate and seems best at Plumpton.
