In depth
Verdict
MINI CREST is creeping closer to opening her account over hurdles having placed in both starts in handicaps. A runner-up at Worcester last time, Olly Murphy’s mare can go one better in a weak contest fitted with first-time cheekpieces. My Last Oscar posted his best effort so far when fourth at Hereford in March while Mozzaro placed at Southwell earlier and looks best of the rest given Mr Stubbs is having his first outing since 2019.
