    Verdict

    I C GOLD found Patsy's Castle too strong at Perth last time but the winner went on to defy a double penalty at Hexham and Gordon Elliott's mare will be a short price to get back to winning ways here. Winning pointer Dawnieriver wasn't disgraced on her debut under Rules at Newton Abbot and could be the one for forecast-backers as Arctic Dixie and Surf In September make their hurdling debuts and Miss P has shown nothing so far.
