In depth
Verdict
Maridadi is a bumper winner who has placed twice on the all-weather this year but LUTINEBELLA (NAP) has already shown a liking for the track and her third in a Grade 2 bumper at Aintree in April is the best form on offer. Notnowlinda, a winner between the flags, looks the danger even though Lady Gwen has hurdling experience and Valentine Getaway is worth a market check.
