Verdict
Some powerful NH yards are represented in this with Paul Nicholls running two. Harry Cobden is on the unraced Chique Angel but she has a chasing pedigree. Lindy Reilly is a half-sister to winning hurdler Dorisa Queen and Nicky Henderson introduces the winning pointer Either Or. Valentia has placed between the flags while Rula Bula showed promise at Aintree but we’ll take a chance on AUNTY CHRISTINE, who was very much an eye-catcher at Ludlow in the spring when ridden by a 10lb claimer. Tom Cannon is in the saddle today.
