Verdict
Towcester winner Passing Dream makes a quick reappearance after unseating her rider at Newton Abbot on Friday and should make the frame with a clear round. Sue Be It narrowly won a Towcester handicap last month but that was her 11th start over hurdles. STYLISH DANCER (NAP) got going too late here last time after getting off the mark at Cheltenham. This slightly longer trip should help and Dan Skelton’s four-year-old will likely be a short price to pick up the winning thread again. Hazy Manor has hinted at ability but may find the going too quick.
