Verdict
Raichu, So Cloudy and Rabbit are three against the field in this mares only event and the vote is given to Raichu. The selection won a bumper in her native Ireland, is sure to have been well schooled for this her hurdling debut and under conditions that suit she looks the one to be on in a trappy affair. So Cloudy rates the main danger on her latest third behind Lord Rosskit but that form has since been let down and she looks vulnerable to the less exposed selection. Rabbit won well last time when beating Giovanni but that was over a longer trip and she looks vulnerable under her penalty. Of the remainder Danehill Dazzler won at up to a mile on the flat and should be noted in the market while Tirailleur has disappointed of late so can not be put forward with any confidence and with this in mind for the winner we return to the unexposed Reichu.
