Verdict
MAIN FACT was only beaten half-a-length when returning from a lengthy absence at Exeter last month. Both the winner and second have won again since so the form looks solid and David Pipe’s charge should be taking this if fully recovered. The disappointing Demopolis was due to run yesterday at Exeter and Richard Johnson is down to ride Precious Eleanor in any case. The top weight has placed in all three starts over hurdles and makes her handicap debut. Imperial Acolyte may be better than he’s shown so far and a case can also be made for Hollywood Ken but Hurricane Hero was modest on the Flat and has not caught the eye over hurdles so far.
