Verdict
FIVEANDTWENTY (NAP) proved a tough stayer on the Flat for Mark Johnston and she’s taken really well to hurdles, winning her first two starts here. She appears top have the beating of Feldspar and her fillies’ allowance and experience can see her get the better of the Paul Nicholls’ newcomer Wise Glory, who was rated 84 on the level and looks the type to do well over timber. The going may be too soft for fellow debutant Carlos Felix but Historic Heart should run his race again and can make the frame.
