Verdict
Artemis Kimbo, Martalindy and BLUE BEACH are all maiden hurdle winners beaten on their latest starts. But the latter ran well again when runner-up in a Grade 2 at Newbury and Mel Rowley’s mare should go close back at this level. Moviddy ran below par behind the selection at Newbury while Just Sophie is a novice winner here and it remains to be seen how she copes with a penalty.
