Preference is for LADY KARA, who was an easy winner in a Hereford novice two weeks ago. Hurdling newcomer Frenati is feared most.
The card begins with a novice hurdle where LADY KARA has to shoulder a penalty for her recent win and that could make life difficult. Horses carrying penalties after a victory often struggle to follow up, so she looks worth taking on. The vote goes to LADY LITIGATOR, who has been competing against stronger opposition leading into this race and brings the best form line to the table. At a much bigger price, WHODUNIT for Joe Tizzard could outrun his odds. Connections may have one eye on securing a workable handicap mark, but he still looks overpriced based on ability.
His representative here, LIMESTONE, really caught my eye on his latest start in Ireland. For a brief moment he looked as though he might be struggling for pace, but when asked to quicken he produced a turn of foot that was extremely impressive.
The step up to 1m6f is unknown territory for many in this field, but based on the way he finished off his race over 1m5f, I don\'t see the extra furlong being an issue at all. In fact, it may bring out even more improvement.
