Verdict
IRISH PROPHECY (NAP) posted a better effort in first-time cheekpieces when runner-up at Exeter. This looks less competitive and Emma Lavelle’s charge can go one better. Pontresina is upped in class and raised 4lb after scoring at Kempton though that was only his second outing over fences while Looksnowtlikebrian placed in this grade at Carlisle recently and can race off the same mark. One Forty Seven looked like placing at Fakenham when hampered and unseating at the last but On Tour parted company with his rider after a blunder at Chepstow on his reappearance and is hard to win with.
