Verdict
Kestrel Valley won here and at Ludlow back in March so arrives on a hat-trick. He’s joined an in-form yard but SPITFIRE GIRL may enjoy a fitness advantage. She ended the last campaign with a first victory over hurdles and was first past the post on her chasing bow at Worcester nine days ago only to lose the race in the stewards’ room. Lily Glitters has won four times over hurdles, including once here, but she didn’t seem to take to fences on her final start last season and Barely Famous has even more to prove. Cresswell Queen may be best of the rest.
