Verdict

Rather Curious is still a maiden after 15 starts and is probably a few pounds high in the weights. Klassy reverts to hurdling but this looks more a confidence booster after a couple of poor runs over fences. Milano Bay is blinkered for the first time and has shown a glimmer of ability and the point-to-point winner What A Diva reverts to hurdling on a low enough mark to make her presence felt. PRETTY HAPPY has won just once in 32 starts over timber but her recent form is probably good enough to take this moderate contest though a glance at the betting may bring its rewards.
