Verdict
Ringaringarosie was in fine form round here in the autumn but Martin Todhunter’s mare has never raced over a trip this far under Rules and she’s now on a career-high mark. Colorado Doc shaped with promise on his fencing bow at Hereford but these fences can be tricky for an inexperienced novice. HILL SIXTEEN has undoubtedly been disappointing so far over fences but did run well over hurdles here a year ago and still has time on his side. Robaddan is making his chasing debut but still preferred to Sonic and Mance Rayder.
