Verdict
Ballintubber Boy was returning from a layoff when landing this contest in 2024 and is not easily overlooked. However, THANK YOU MA'AM remains on a nice mark and could prove the one to side with. Georgina Nicholls' charge gave notice a return to winning ways was imminent when beaten by the narrowest of margins at Warwick and is taken to go one better. Kitty Foyle beat only two rivals when successful at Wincanton, but should shape well again.
Expert View Verdict
Most of the field can be given a chance here but minor preference is for the consistent if a touch frustrating SUNRAY SHADOW. He was given a moderate ride when runner up last time conceding first run to the winner and remains completely unexposed at 3m. With Harry Skelton taking over he is chosen to defeat the consistent Alien Storm who proved he could be capable off this lower hurdles mark when midfield last time. Thorough stayer Ballintubber Boy also arrives in form and has to be respected given his excellent C&D record.
