In depth
Verdict
SUBWAY SURF (NAP) won her bumper here and was second over hurdles last season. Though she’s been racing over further, this is a not a strong contest and Kim Bailey’s mare can dominate and come out on top. Monete placed three times on the Flat in Germany and Lost In Montmartre had decent form over hurdles and fences in France, though has a penalty to carry returning from a break and running for new connections. Ordered Lives is improving with experience and can’t be ignored.
