Verdict
A modest race in which Miss Cospector can reverse recent course form with Izzykeen. That race was over two-and-a-half miles in September and with Izzykeen having to carry a penalty and the ground likely to have seen some overnight moisture, there is every reason to suggest that Miss Cospector can manage to turn around that defeat. Miniballist won a weak mares only hurdle in convincing style. She stays well and this will be much more of a test. Swazi Prince had some form in bumpers for Nick Gaselee and is now substantially stepped up in trip while former bumper scorer Cleopatra's Theory could be another to benefit should conditions soften. A difficult race for punters to solve but Miss Cospector could come up with the answers.
