Verdict
Another very modest heat with few of these showing any recent worthwhile form. TRUCKERS PRINCESS is probably the exception as she did win a seller at Market Rasen on Boxing Day and has been placed in two of her last three starts, though she's struggled to get home over this trip over hurdles in the past despite winning over 3m in point-to-points. Rachel Hobbs' mare is preferred to her full brother Truckers Benefit, who is still a maiden under Rules and between the flags. Coolagad Wonder hasn't raced since October but may be best of the rest.
