Verdict
Little recent winning form in evidence but perhaps the day when TRUCKERS TANGLE breaks his maiden under Rules after 14 attempts, during which he's frequently delivered a consistent, reliable level of performance. Equally at home over fences and hurdles, he should certainly be on the premises in a modest contest. Mrs Vonn didn't run too badly last time off a higher mark after scoring at Kelso and is also expected to be involved in her current vein of form. Kisumu showed little on her sole outing over fences but if finding the level of a latest hurdling run now back over fences she would be of interest. Kitty Fisher has a squeak off bottomweight.
