Verdict
MAYBERRY survived two huge mistakes to finish fifth at Fontwell when last seen but if jumping better today can take top honours. Emma Lavelle's mare looks fairly-handicapped on a mark of 108 and whilst all of her best runs have come at Fontwell, she should be effective around here; if the market speaks in her favour the hint must be taken. Timoca ran well in first-time cheek-pieces at Hereford on her return to action but those aides are now dispensed with, whilst the headgear is also switched on Windpfeil. Slam, a 90+ rated flat horse, is yet to sparkle over hurdles but is not ruled out just yet, whilst Nothing Is Forever is more consistent than most of his rivals but probably wouldn't want the ground to quicken up further. Foreign King, Halling Gal and Society Venue are all others of note, especially the Evan Williams filly given her mark has fallen to a tasty 104.
