Verdict
Peruvien Bleu won last year’s renewal but found Court Royale too good over course and distance last month. The latter should go well again and So Lonely has been in good form at Huntingdon though is raised 8lb for her latest success in a novices handicap. New Agenda won over track and trip when last over hurdles and Equus Millar has a shout on an earlier effort at Cheltenham but RED HOT CHILLY won at the latter track in November and returned to finish a close-up fourth in a tougher contest than this behind Uno Mas. Feargal O’Brien’s charge gets a tentative vote in an open affair.
