Verdict
HURRICANE RITA has changed stables and gone up in the weights again since finishing second at Hexham in March but she may have more to offer. Appletree Lane is still a maiden but doesn’t look badly treated on her reappearance. Prettylittlething has been chasing but did win over hurdles around this time last year and blinkers could re-ignite her enthusiasm. Cosmic Diamond won at Huntingdon last month but has been beaten off lower marks than this the last twice.
