Verdict
A terrific servant to connections, AIMIGAYLE is rated 10lb lower over hurdles than fences but there's no reason why she won't prove just as effective back over the smaller obstacles following an excellent fourth in the Topham Chase at Aintree. Suzy Smith's mare can take this ahead of Stratford second Seedless and Southwell winner Wild Rhubarb, who is now blinkered. Thedeboftheyear has been quite highly tried lately and certainly isn't out of this but One More Cookie needs to improve again on her Hexham second to get competitive here and Petit Fleur is climbing the weights, despite not winning.
