Verdict
Only Molly Childers of these has raced over fences before and she shaped well when second to a subsequent winner at Bangor last month, though Dinos Benefit has won a couple of points so shouldn’t be fazed by a switch to the larger obstacles. Lillian was successful over hurdles here last year but she does all of her winning in the summer months. Jet Set got off the mark over hurdles in April but GRACEFUL LEGEND would have been the best of these over the smaller obstacles and Daryl Jacob rides this track as well as anyone. Ben Case’s mare should go close if relishing this different test.
