Verdict
This looks wide-open though Proper Ticket carries a double penalty after winning at Southwell. Several with a shout return to action and make their hurdles debut including point-to-point and bumper winner Alpha Carinae while Global Harmony and She's A Dancer were placed in bumpers when last in action. Thats The Truth placed over hurdles back in March but SOUTHERN GIRL has the more recent form over timber when second to the progressive Getaround over track and trip earlier in the month and Lucinda Russell’s mare should be in the mix once again.
