Verdict

Exeter winner Don't Rightly Know went close to defying a penalty at Wincanton and can figure again. OTTOLINE is also penalised but last week’s comfortable success at Uttoxeter came on testing ground and Venetia William’s mare should make another bold bid. Quite The Getaway and Ellies Sister took a backward step last time but Oneandahalfdegrees will be sharper for a recent outing in a bumper and makes her hurdling debut.
