In depth
Verdict
Plenty with claims in this including Taunton third Sinndarella and Kentford Mallard, who placed at Worcester last time. Both of the above drop down in trip while Flintara is another to consider on her third at Fontwell. Isthebaropen went close at Stratford and is upped in distance along with PRESENT STORM, who finished third in a maiden hurdle here on her debut for Charlie Longsdon and will appreciate the longer trip having won a point-to-point.
