In depth
Verdict
Our Prima Donna holds strong claims here and can beat Dumadic and Cool Carroll. The Venetia Williams yard is flying at present and the selection made a promising, if not spectacular start to her chasing career. She went off joint favourite in that Ludlow event but after making a mistake was given a gentle ride afterwards and will have gained plenty of confidence with that run. She had decent enough hurdles form and if she gets her jumping together she should go close in this company. Dumadic displayed improved form to finish just seven lengths behind Willie The Fish at Sedgefield last time and should be capable of reaching the frame. Cool Carroll hails from a strong yard and showed ability in an Irish point a while back. She has obviously had training problems but it would be no surprise to see her run well for current connections. Woodenbridge Dream has bits and pieces of form this season and may prove best of the others, but in a very weak event Our Prima Donna just gets the vote
