Verdict
Karannelle, only beaten a neck by the in-form Saddlers Quest at Newton Abbot last month, and Sawpit Sienna are normally reliable performers in this grade. East End Girl has won on the Flat since last seen over hurdles but, following wind surgery, we’ll take a chance that LADY GWEN can recapture the form she showed when beating a good yardstick at Stratford in July. Imperial Jade can improve again having got her head in front at Chepstow in April while Aviewofthestars made a winning start for new connections at Plumpton and is still at the right end of the handicap.
