      Verdict

      Richard Johnson had to be at his strongest to get Vivant home in front at Worcester 11 days ago and the grey may be worth opposing off a 4lb higher mark here. Bold Image won her bumper here and made the expected progress over hurdles on her first start for Dan Skelton at Newton Abbot. But she is 7lb higher now and LADY MARKBY may be better treated on her fast-finishing second at Market Rasen given she has Patrick Cowley’s claim in her favour and also first-time cheekpieces.
