Verdict
There is little between the top two on the card on hurdle ratings - and Roseys Hollow too - but JEREMYS FLAME has finished runner-up to the likes of Riviere D'etel and Concertista this term and that chasing form sets the standard here, especially as she only went down by half a length to the latter last month in a Grade 2 chase. Dolcita was over 10l behind the selection that day but shaped nicely enough on what was her chasing debut and could well pose a major threat with that run under her belt. Roseys Hollow was beaten over 14l on her chasing bow but she too should come on plenty for that initial experience. The other two were beaten a long way last time.
