Verdict
Nextdoortoalice is weighted to reverse Ludlow running with Holly Hartingo but was no match for the unbeaten Corey's Courage at Doncaster last time and is 4lb worse off here. SPEECH BUBBLE (NAP) shoulders top weight but she has already won over this track and trip and her latest second at Sandown was franked, in no uncertain terms, when the winner went on to land the Mares’ Novices’ Hurdle at Cheltenham. Marsh Wren clearly found 3m too far at Doncaster and is capable of better while there is certainly more to come from Walk In Clover as she steps up in trip. Good Look Charm has yet to finish out of the first two over timber so can’t be ignored.
