Verdict
Ballyblack and TERRESITA return to novice company under penalties. The former failed to land the odds at Wincanton last time but the latter was surrounded by subsequent winners when third in a handicap at Sandown last month and Lucy Wadham’s charge gets the vote on that form. Tommy Tracey ran well in a maiden hurdle at Ascot recently and that looks stronger form than Lady Wilberry’s second at Plumpton.
