Verdict

A typically open handicap hurdle but there is every chance that LITTLE MISS POET can build on a very promising effort at Ascot last time out. There are plenty of others you can make a case for, including the progressive Dalaman , Lord Ballim, and Vado Forte, whose yard in fine form at present. Man Of Plenty ran a blinder at Sandown on Saturday and if he does take his chance could be a danger as well.
  1. Little Miss Poet
  2. Vado Forte
  3. Dalaman
