Verdict
Espoir De Teillee remains unexposed but has run poorly twice since a promising third at Exeter in March. Cubswin was biting off more than she could chew in the Swinton Hurdle when on a hat-trick but this small field will suit. Constancio could get an uncontested lead but RED HOT CHILLY (NAP) should take all the beating again as Fergal O’Brien’s gelding, though raised a further 5lb, is at the top of his game and will have his ground.
