In depth
Verdict
An interesting mares only race, contested by mainly moderate jumpers. Parlour Game hasn't looked at ease over the larger obstacles and surely Richard Johnson will be trying to get her round in one piece, while Robert Biddlecombe will also have his work cut out to get Flora Muck back in one piece. A chance is taken with chasing debutante Madame Mosso, who was roughly the equal of Parlour Game over hurdles. She at least is open to improvement now she goes chasing and could well be good enough at the first time of asking.
