Verdict
Mardale looked a surefire future winner last season after a couple of seconds behind the useful Out Of The Mist at Doncaster but she looked one-paced when beaten at Fakenham on her final start and this could be an above-average bumper for the track. Throckley was second on his debut at Southwell last month while Barney Dwan and Jethro bring point-to-point form to the table. Meet The Legend should do well over hurdles but DUBAI ANGEL, a Flat-bred newcomer by Dubai Destination, makes more appeal in a race like this and can get off to a winning start.
