Verdict

Joyful Kit is back in novice company after being pulled up in a handicap at Taunton last time but hasn’t shown much so far. Eavesdropping, a bumper winner last spring, was successful in a maiden at Lingfield last month and will make a bold bid to defy her penalty but FISHCAKE should run her close. She is Nicky Henderson’s only runner on the card and a switch to hurdles and step up in trip is going to suit this half-sister to the smart Monkfish, who has had only one run in a bumper.
