Verdict
Eternal Angel came up short under a penalty over C&D last month and even with a hood applied for the first time it might be the case again. RIDE LIKE A GIRL was successful in a handicap at Huntingdon on her seasonal return in May and looks capable of much better, especially with ground conditions to suit. Aimeric backed out of things quickly at Market Rasen, as he did previously at Chepstow, but he was smart on the level and would be a threat to all if things click into place.
Expert View Verdict
Bumper winner RIDE LIKE A GIRL showed the benefit of a wind op when getting off the mark over hurdles last time and should be able to follow up in this weaker contest. The experienced Eternal Angel belatedly got off the mark on his penultimate start and looks the biggest danger on form while Aimeric is also respected. He is yet to fire over hurdles but he had a valid excuse last time and he was very useful on the Flat so should be capable of better.
