Verdict

This could prove tactical, with no obvious pace on paper. Having proved she stays this far when second at Huntingdon last month, MISS GOLDFIRE may be ridden more aggressively and she is marginally preferred to Pipers Cross who also arrives in good heart but equally wouldn't want this to be a crawl, with stamina her strong suit. Tuscan Rose is forgiven her latest below-par effort and remains of interest now tackling this longer trip in first-time cheekpieces.

1	Bumper winner on debut has progressed for the move into handicaps, proved she stays this trip when second of 10 in handicap hurdle at Huntingdon (25f, soft) 28 days ago. 6-y-o doesn't have many miles on the clock, and she is one of the more likely winners in this contest. 1st Pick 1 Miss Goldfire (Ire) Jockey: Miss Megan Bevan Trainer: Harry Fry J: Miss Megan Bevan T: Harry Fry	100	-	-	-	36%

2	Dual winner in the spring of 2024 for Robbie Llewellyn and despite not getting her head in front since, she has matched that form for current connections. Shaped as if still in good form when third at Chepstow (23.6f) last month and she's one to be interested in stepping back up in distance. 2nd Pick 2 Pipers Cross (Ire) Jockey: Cameron Johnstone-Baker Trainer: Emma Lavelle J: Cameron Johnstone-Baker T: Emma Lavelle	99	-	-	-	25%

5	Finished last term with success at Taunton and carried that form into this season, only finding one too good in her first couple of starts, shaping as though she would improve for staying distances. Forgiven latest run (pulled up, found to be in season) and better expected in first-time cheekpieces. 3rd Pick 5 Tuscan Rose (Ire) Jockey: Sam Twiston-Davies Trainer: Neil Mulholland J: Sam Twiston-Davies T: Neil Mulholland	94	-	-	-	34%
