Verdict
Recent winner Molly's Secret and hurdles victor Minibule should both figure in the finish here, but we will take a chance on Radiant Bride. Karl Burke's four-year-old hasn't raced since March so fitness has to be taken on trust, however she did put up some excellent performances last winter here, and at the other two all-weather venues. Her victory over a mile and five at Lingfield in February makes very good reading in the context of this event and if she is ready to race will be very difficult to beat. Molly's Secret was successful in a Wolverhampton seller last time and should be a live danger if she handles this different surface. Meanwhile Minibule, formally with Martin Pipe, was victorious in a Worcester selling hurdle in August and was a decent enough performer on the flat in France. Once again if she handles the ground, she should figure in the finish. El Pedro and Kentucky Bullet are two others worthy of a mention, but we expect Radiant Bride to outshine them all
