Lace Bonnet has a leading claim on the evidence of her success at Warwick on her penultimate start when showing a good attitude to score over 2m on good ground. She has been well beaten on two of her last four starts, although both defeats came around the idiosyncrasies of Fakenham and are perhaps best forgiven. She does look exposed though whereas LAST ENCHANTMENT, a winner on the Flat, has only had the three starts over hurdles and may well have more to offer. Market support would certainly strengthen confidence. The other three cannot be ruled out with recent Plumpton third, Golden Cannon, making most appeal of the trio.
