Verdict

Molly Childers got her head in front at the fourth time of asking over fences when beating Two Smoking Barrels almost three lengths over the course and distance a month ago. That was only a three-runner race so the form may be unreliable and both have something to find. Atlanta Ablaze unseated her rider in a Doncaster Listed race last time but had earlier won a similar race at Warwick by 19 lengths. But she was previously behind RON'S DREAM in a similar race to this at Market Rasen and the winner will appreciate being back on today's better ground. Marienstar completed a hat-trick of handicap victories on good going but was struggling when falling heavily in a Listed contest at Huntingdon on softer ground.
