    Verdict

    Tara View is unbeaten over hurdles and beat Wizard's Sliabh and Hitherjacques Lady at Ludlow in December. But she has a big weight to carry and so does the consistent Copper Kay, though she beat Snow Leopardess when second over 2m here in the autumn and the latter subsequently accounted for Same Circus at Doncaster. Grand Turina steps up in distance but her second behind River Wylde at Ludlow in January has worked out well and she beat an odds-on chance at Warwick earlier this month. Lamanver Odyssey and Ruby Yeats have each-way claims on these terms but SISTER SIBYL could be the pick of the weights. Hughie Morrison has not rushed the King’s Theatre mare but she’s been heading in the right direction and should handle this longer trip having won twice at Towcester. Fergus Gregory claims 10lb on Miss Tongabezi and she may be best of the rest.
