Verdict
The Boola Bee was given plenty to do when runner-up at Wincanton last week and could get closer here, though has no form on going this soft. Kentford Mallard signed off here in May with a victory here over 2m4f and there should be more to come over fences but SILENT STEPS pulled well clear at Chepstow 12 days ago once she got to the front and Bryony Frost keeps the partnership intact so Neil King’s mare can defy an 8lb rise. Longhousesignora has won a hurdle and a point but fell when last seen over fences.
