      Verdict

      This looks a virtual match between the two previous winners. In-form Bridget Andrews continues to deputise for Harry Skelton on the majority of the Skelton runners and she’ll fancy her chances on Or De Vassy, though her mount couldn’t justify favouritism at Sedgefield on Boxing Day. FIRST DRIFT is conceding 7lb but followed up a first victory at Doncaster by winning by eight lengths over course and distance earlier this month and a hat-trick beckons.
