    Verdict

    You Say What got back to winning ways at Newton Abbot, when Gardiners Hill was only fourth, but the quicker going here is not in his favour. Blairs Cove placed over 3m over hurdles so stamina shouldn’t be an issue but a 10lb rise could be. Mustmeetalady had every chance when favourite at Haydock but has dropped a further 3lb. Hepijeu was a lucky winner at Fakenham and is 5lb higher and is also held by Gardiners Hill on Ludlow form in November. EXXARO hinted at a return to form at Ffos Las and is back on a winning mark so could be the one to beat.
