In depth
Verdict
After seconds at Uttoxeter and Warwick, Rebekah Rabbit turned in a shocker last time at Leicester and now has something to prove. Pandorica appears to be going backwards and was only fourth in a seller here last month but Crazy could be interesting as his run at Ludlow was her first over hurdles since 2013. DEFINITELY BETTER (NAP) was swamped on the run-in at Musselburgh last time having led at the last. This drop in distance should suit, therefore, and she's well treated at present.
