In depth
Verdict
Hollow Bay went close over hurdles at Ludlow when caught on the line and goes chasing for the first time. Song Saa landed a double over timber in March and also makes her debut over fences along with Newton Abbot runner-up Lilly Of The Moor. But ACES OVER EIGHTS (NAP) has already won a chase and went close again in a higher grade at Hereford last time. Racing off the same mark here, Kerry Lee’s charge can come out best. Troubled Soul was a well beaten third over fences at Huntingdon but would have finished closer if not for hitting the last.
