Verdict
Brinestine has been placed in three of his five chase starts but may not have much scope. Given her point-to-point background, BALLINA LADY’s improved showing over fences at Stratford may not have been entirely unexpected and any further progress would see her in the firing-line here. Alpine Secret and Aza Run are others to consider and Key To The West and Mr Muddle may also figure.
