Verdict
This is not going to take much winning despite the size of the field. Africa had shown that she has a glimmer of ability over hurdles before her last two outings both resulted in her exiting at an early stage both times. It would take an act of faith to support her again and there may be better value to be found elsewhere on the racecard. Prussia is one that could go well at a fair price, as could Paulton, but little else leaps and a minimum stakes approach is advised in an uninspiring affair.
