Verdict
Minellaforlunch has yet to win a race but still carries top weight in this moderate affair having not run badly at Towcester last time. Getting Ready has shown very little but still attracted support at Bangor a couple of weeks ago while Brunette'sonly has been a beaten favourite on her last two starts over hurdles. Playing The Field has been running in hunter chases without showing much so it's HINTON INDIANA who gets the nod. He'd looked potentially useful at one point but lost his way before an encouraging first start for Dan Skelton at Plumpton last month. The veteran Rifleman is having his 105th start and, though consistent enough, he hasn't won since 2010.
