Verdict
Samantha Drake was one of the success stories of the last NH season and has a strong chance on OR D'OUDAIRIES for Ferdy Murphy, whose string seems to have found form since the trainer announced his decision to move to France to train. Drake was on board when the combination obliged at Hexham last time, outpointing Sergeant Pink who boosted the form with success at Cartmel this week. Kauto The Roc is a possible off this mark back over hurdles for the first time in over a year whilst Coolking has shown more than enough in recent starts in Ireland to rate a dangerous raider in an open handicap. Sparkling Tara showed signs of a revival last time and rates a mention alongside the consistent Cruchain.
