Verdict

The four-year-old OOT MA WAY was in front and going as well as anything when falling at the last at Carlisle on Thursday. If that hasn’t affected her confidence, she could make amends here. Ugo Du Misselot might be the danger back over hurdles as Cellar Vie, a winner here in January, was disappointing at Carlisle last month in a race in which Lusitanien was only fourth having been sent off favourite. Hidden Commander may be best of the rest.
