Verdict
AMBRE DES MARAIS continued her good progress at Worcester last time when shrugging off an 8lb rise to land a hat-trick. She’s worth sticking with in her current mood. Serveontime has been threatening to score with a couple of placed efforts over these hurdles and finished in front of Goal and Mighty Missile on his latest start when Berry De Carja fell at the first. He’s preferred to Cabernet D'alene, who won at Newton Abbot in September but failed to cope with a 6lb rise over a longer trip here last time.
