In depth
Verdict
Kiera Royale won off a 5lb higher mark over fences here last month but is 0-22 over hurdles. Dorette was only beaten a couple of lengths by Ballymilan at Southwell despite having been raised 6lb for winning earlier at Uttoxeter. She is 5lb better off with Neil Mulholland’s charge and is fancied to turn the tables. CZECH HER OUT (NAP) is worth a market check, however, as she’s been running better than form figures would suggest and is starting to look well handicapped after another 3lb drop in the ratings. Mini Crest and Chosen Shant are others to consider.
