Verdict
This is trappy as cases can be made for all. AS HIGH SAY, already on her fifth trainer, made a winning debut for Fergal O'Brien this month and is now 7lb higher. This looks a better race but she has strong claims with progress expected over timber and her yard remains in fine form. Found On, rather disappointing when last seen, is the only distance winner in the line-up and her overall profile puts her bang in contention. Fivetotwelve usually runs her race, Midnight Aurora is a possible off bottomweight and Chosen Shant is noteworthy on handicap bow after showing promise in maiden hurdles.
