Verdict
MOONLIGHT MAGGIE is still a maiden after 15 starts but should put that right here. She ran better than her final position suggests at Taunton last month and it will be a surprise if she's not competitive. Kayfton Pete has won three times over timber but never over fences. He's on a 7lb lower mark than the bigger obstacles but is still looking a few pounds high. Yourholidayisover is another maiden over fences and he hasn't shown much though he's fit from a couple of recent runs at Wolverhampton while in a poor contest Cruise In Style can also be given a chance as she completed a double on good ground in the Autumn.
