Verdict
Danvilla doesn't look a natural over hurdles and couldn't prevent She Ranks Me from overturning Bangor form at Fontwell next time. CORONEA LILLY hasn't been seen since winning over C&D in May but she looked a very progressive mare in the spring and may well be good enough to make a successful reappearance as Double Silver and Titch Strider have had their chances and Floral Patches has her first run away from Worcester and may need a stiffer test of stamina than this. Mrs Peachey won a Bangor bumper in May but should find easier opportunities than this to get off the mark over timber.
