Verdict
As PIQUE ROCK (NAP) proved at Bangor earlier this month, Henry Daly has his string in good form. The six-year-old is having only her second run over timber and holds Shazzamataz on the form book so can defy her penalty. Bold Image is much more exposed and was a disappointing favourite in a Fontwell handicap last month but a switch to hurdling should suit points winner Burn Baby Byrne as she was noted staying on in a bumper here just over two weeks ago. She makes more appeal than Little Miss Darsi.
