Verdict

Though there's still room for improvement in the jumping department, REST IS THE BEST has improved switched to handicaps at Chepstow on her last 2 starts and is taken to get her head in front this time. Last year's winner Queen of Steel is the clear main danger, given that Hellfire Princess needs to bounce back following a couple of low-key efforts.

3	Returned to form when bagging a handicap hurdle at Leicester over this trip in January. Backed that up when going down narrowly at Southwell (3m) next time and while a 4 lb rise for that will makes things tougher, last year's winner should have a part to play. 2nd Pick 3 Queen Of Steel Jockey: Fern O'brien Trainer: Fergal O'brien J: Fern O'brien T: Fergal O'brien	94	-	-	-	63%	3/5

1	Back to form with a bang when taking a mares handicap here (2¾m, soft) in November. However, she was suited by the way that developed that day and hasn't made much of an impact in 2 subsequent appearances. Cheekpieces refitted. 3rd Pick 1 Hellfire Princess Jockey: Benjamin Macey Trainer: Kerry Lee J: Benjamin Macey T: Kerry Lee	96	-	-	-	25%	3/1
