Verdict
Having got off the mark over hurdles at Uttoxeter earlier this month, TIGERALLEY was only beaten half-a-length off this mark at Bangor. She fell on her chasing bow but was travelling strongly at the time and deserves another chance. Bennys Girl won this last year but is 12lb higher, though the in-form Jonjo O’Neill Jr can still claim 5lb. Overawed has been second twice over fences, including once around here, but she is hard to predict while Lerichi Belle has shown nothing this season and has changed stables.
