Verdict
A mares only contest gets proceedings under way. The short priced favourite is sure to be Kombinacja who is the Polish Triple Crown winner. She is proven on the ground and if she can jump she will be impossible to oppose. Super Sammy rates the main danger; she is a bumper winner and although she has run well over hurdles she has given the impression she now needs three miles. Clonroche Vinyls is from a top yard but her best form has also been over further, but this filly by Rasher has definite place claims as the ground will be very testing. Witch's Brew was a fair third behind Always Rainbow in similar conditions at Wetherby on only her second start and is sure to improve. Dispol Foxtrot was a nine furlong handicap winner on heavy ground but she has a stiff task on her hurdling debut. Landings has also shown a modicum of ability but this Deploy filly gives the impression she will be better over further.
