Verdict
She's Late hasn't shown a lot over fences so far but Jonjo O'Neill has won two of the last four renewals so the five-year-old could be worth a second look from near the foot of the weights. Venetia Williams trained last year's winner so will be hoping for a big run from recent Aintree third Russborough while Bangor runner-up Dartford Warbler remains potentially well treated on his hurdles form. SHOCKINGTIMES (NAP) was second off a higher mark here a couple of years ago. He's been knocking on the door again lately and first-time blinkers can help him get his head back in front. Cloudy Bob and Rio Milan make more appeal than the enigmatic Cayman Islands on these terms.
