Verdict
This looks a virtual match between MISS LAMB and Idem. The former may be able to make the most of her experience, despite a penalty, having won her maiden here in March before finishing second in a handicap on the track two weeks later. Lucinda Russell’s gelding is making his hurdling debut but has made the frame four times in bumpers, including in a Class 2 at Kelso last time.
