        Verdict

        Detour Ahead hasn't run since completing a double in June 2014 and has changed stables as has Lilly Of The Moor, who hasn't run since May 2014 in Ireland. Definitely Better didn't have much to do to score in a lower grade handicap at Southwell last week but jumped well and a 7lb penalty shouldn't prevent another big effort. MAGIC MONEY is a regular at this sort of level and though she hasn't won for over a year she's now on a 6lb lower mark and this looks her chance to get back to winning ways.
