Verdict
Martalindy made a winning return when scoring at Huntingdon earlier in the month. But she’s penalised for that success and that should hand the advantage to MARIDADI. The latter was having her first outing for Neil King and making her hurdling debut when headed close home at Warwick and is taken to go one better. Sedge Wren has placed in bumpers but goes hurdling for the first time on her reappearance.
