Verdict
Rookie Trainer was in winning form over hurdles in the spring and though well beaten on his chasing debut at Huntingdon will have come on markedly for the run. Winning hurdler Lady Kk made a promising start over fences but jumped poorly in a handicap at Uttoxeter next time. Dual hurdles winner Fleminport would be suited by testing conditions but MILLE SUSSURRI looks the one to beat. She looked like winning at Uttoxeter last time but a last-fence error and a lost shoe combined to see her beaten a length. Cape Robin jumps and stays and is at the right end of the handicap while none of the remainder can be dismissed in a wide-open handicap.
