Verdict
CASABLANCA MIX showed the benefit of an earlier chasing debut when second to the progressive Willoughby Court over track and trip last time. Nicky Henderson’s mare can land this with any further progress and is preferred to Miss Crick, who made only a modest start over fences at Fontwell but is expected to improve here. Theatre Territory has a bit to find with the above pair on hurdles form and goes chasing for the first time with the remaining pair even harder to fancy.
