Verdict
COUNTISTER finally showed some improvement for a slide down the weights when going close at Sedgefield last month. She looks set to go one better and end a long losing run. Stage Power never threatened the winner when second in a selling handicap at Stratford and Grand Enterprise finished a long way behind the winner when runner-up at Market Rasen. Flighty Bride represents last year’s winning yard while Monash returns to hurdling after going close on the Flat.
