Verdict

It's impossible to overlook a Nicky Henderson bumper runner but La Reine De Riogh is bred to be a chaser and may not quite have the pace for this, a remark that also applies to the stoutly-bred Vic Ar Aghaidh. Another newcomer, Azelma, is more likely to be suited by the trip and both will do well to overcome those with experience. GOWITHDFLO has a penalty to contend with for a very easy victory at Huntingdon on Boxing Day where she attracted plenty of support. She can complete a double though Dimpsy Time, who started odds-on when just touched off at Ffos Las, is an obvious threat along with the youngster Go Annie, who hung on over 1m5f at Newbury.
