Verdict
Whatsdastory won over fences in January but has been well beaten in a couple of recent runs over timber. Get The Appeal makes more appeal after last month’s third at Wincanton, though she still isn’t firing on all cylinders. MOONAMACAROONA is 0-6 over hurdles but has shown more than enough to suggest she can win a race like this and is preferred to Lily Glitters, who has been knocking on the door again but is still 4lb higher than when successful at Hereford in the autumn.
