Verdict
Designer Destiny has questions to answer at present but Baby Sham won at Fakenham and Fontwell earlier in the year and has had wind surgery since last seen. Caitlin's Court was a winner here in May but winning chaser Kym Eyre was pulled up reverting to hurdles at Southwell in June. Lady Berlais is worth a market check having a first run for the Skeltons but Harthill has shown little so far. RYDER’S ROCK was second in a maiden here in June on good to soft so we’ll take a chance that Joe Tizzard’s five-year-old handles today’s ground with a tongue-tie fitted.
