Verdict
Nicely Indeed landed last year’s renewal but has been in woeful form since while Ormesher failed to win last year but posted a better effort over 2m4f here on Boxing Day having slipped down the weights. Pixiepot has a shout on her second at Southwell last summer but Ulterior Motives has the more recent form with a third in a maiden hurdle here on the same day BERTIE BLAKE won a handicap. The latter has a hike in the weights to contend with but returned a wide-margin winner last time and is taken to go in again.
