Verdict

Prayerful might just be able to follow up her Chepstow win, with Wizard Of Edge and The Hearty Joker possibly proving best of the rest. Much as the selection's success came in a seller - after which she changed hands - she could hardly have won more emphatically and can follow up from a mark of 81. Elheba won a seller last time but needs to step up on that, while Imperial Dream, who is a bit in-and-out, has been hit by the handicapper for his Wincanton third to Annie Byers last time. However, he could still go well, as could Light des Mulottes, with Tony McCoy booked to ride, who could do better at this type of level, and Wizard Of Edge, whilst not impressive when scoring at Newton Abbot last time, should be improving. The Hearty Joker likes it here and, despite being out of the handicap, can go well with a good claimer booked. Watch the betting for further clues but for us it's Prayerful to win.
