    Verdict

    GRAN LUNA finished runner-up at Newbury recently despite the unfavourable soft ground and can go one better in this with Nicky Henderson’s yard firing-in the winners. Hillfinch won a maiden hurdle at Huntingdon and there should be more to come from her now handicapping while Litterale Ci has a shout on her best form though is hard to predict.
