Verdict
Lust For Glory would probably have been the best of these over hurdles but she hasn’t pulled up any trees in her two runs to date over the larger obstacles. Pink Legend won on her reappearance at Bangor but she’s not replicated that form in two starts since and carries a penalty again. VIENNA COURT was made favourite at Exeter last month off the back of a promising third at Bangor but got knocked sideways by a rival at the first and unseated her rider – she deserves compensation. Alright Marlene may be out of her depth.
