      Verdict

      Guardia Top has thrived since going handicapping and has now won three times. But she’s been raised another 11lb since just hanging on at Sandown and might struggle to give 9lb to fellow four-year-old GAVROCHEKA. Philip Hobbs’ French import looks set to open her account over hurdles after finding only one too good in both starts. Pink Legend may be best caught fresh and has gone up 6lb for winning at Southwell while Ellens Way has a two-year absence to overcome.
