In depth

Verdict

THELUNARSCHOONER (NAP) never settled on her hurdles bow at Market Rasen and her exertions told in the closing stages. Richard Johnson keeps faith here with the bumper winner, however, and this won’t take much winning. Oscar’s Song has had a few chances now but Nicely Done is having her first run over timber having shown some ability in bumpers. Fairy Pol could also be worth a market check in a very modest opener.
