Verdict
Peloric has the highest rating of these but was pulled up on his reappearance and is fitted with a tongue-tie today. Garrison Commander has only placed once over hurdles so far in 10 starts so the two penalised runners are preferred. DOLLY MCQUEEN had been improving prior to getting off the mark at Plumpton when dropped into a seller. She may well follow up here ahead of Leicester runner-up Colonel Lesley and Hereia.
