In depth
Verdict
Misty Bloom has not been at her best since her third at Sandown in December and she was a long way behind Hotter Than Hell at Haydock, though she is starting to look very well treated. Precious Eleanor goes well here and was a ready winner last time but there are concerns surrounding a step back up in distance. Une De La Seniere and Committee Of One also have stamina to prove so we’ll take a chance that a return to hurdling sees a revival in the fortunes of GETAWAY MAG, who will stay and has cheekpieces added to aid concentration.
