In depth
Verdict
A winner at Leicester last month, CHECKITSME looked likely to go close again at Ffos Las last time but a blunder a couple of hurdles from home put an end to her challenge. She should be thereabouts at the finish with a clear round. Gaot is still looking for her first win over timber after placing at Taunton while Bella Beau and Eventful filled the places over track and trip last time and that pair are hard to separate. Amlovi won the previous renewal of this in 2020 but hasn’t scored since.
