Verdict

A fair mares’ event with both of the leading players in GLORIOUS LADY and Aurora Thunder penalised and looking to get back on the winning trail. The first-named of that duo has gone close in a couple of handicaps of late with plenty of positives to be drawn from her recent second at Sedgefield where she travelled and jumped well. The latter was unlucky to find herself up against an improving type last time at Ayr and she has to remain of interest. Blossoming Forth and Maid O’Malley both showed encouraging sign on their hurdling debuts and it surely won’t be long before those two pick up something in this sphere. Racks Cross is one to watch for the future for a small yard that do well here.
