Verdict
Soft going may not be ideal but Miss Tynte arrives in decent form and has been dropped a couple of pounds since her latest fourth at Worcester. Fergal O’Brien has his team firing on all cylinders and Grageelagh Girl benefited from a run at Exeter to finish third at Taunton. Wilde Spirit was second over 2m here last month and Lex Talionis could figure if fully wound up. Stamp Your Feet usually contests better races that this but the vote goes to LONGHOUSESIGNORA. She’s a course and distance winner who has yet to finish out of the frame here and she’ll appreciate a switch back to hurdles after placing over fences on her return to action.
