Verdict
Lissen To The Lady has won three times over course and distance including this contest last year. She’s been raised 9lb for her latest success and also beat GOODTIMES BADTIMES (NAP) here back in February. But the latter went on to land a Class 2 hurdle at Musselburgh and Sandy Thomson’s charge is taken to reverse running on better terms back in this lower grade. Both Dr Shirocco and Lock Down Luke have a bit to find with the selection on collateral form though Bollingerandkrug won off a higher mark here at this time last year.
