Verdict
Mollys Glory won a bumper here and should be losing her maiden tag over hurdles soon having been beaten just a nose on the track in November. A line through Liberty Dance gives her something to find with BELLE THE LIONESS, runner-up to Gordon Elliott's smart mare in a Listed contest here last month and still on the upgrade. Arthor has shown some ability and won't mind the conditions but it's difficult to have much faith in the remainder.
