Verdict

SUMMERVILLE BOY's effort over course and distance last time was a smart performance and he sets a solid standard for the rest to aim on his two efforts this season. Spice Girl could be the main danger if she improves again for her first start over hurdles last time while Lalor and Western Ryder can fight it out for minor honours with the former capable of confirming the Aintree Bumper form, receiving weight from his rival.
  1. Summerville Boy
  2. Spice Girl
  3. Lalor
