Verdict

NEETSIDE has yet to place over timber but she has shown signs of ability. She was second in a bumper on good ground so a return to that surface and a step up in distance could see her get off the mark. Kiwi Myth has a decent pedigree for a jumper and she is another who has hinted at ability. Bonza Girl was fourth on her handicap debut at Wincanton and Anndarrow is equally unexposed. We'll Be There is well treated on her form around this time last year but she’s not been at her best this campaign.
