Verdict

Bollin Dolly's debut success over hurdles came in a Cartmel seller and the runner-up has been well beaten since. Though this is another weak race, James Moffatt's mare may struggle under her penalty. Golden Sparkle hasn't raced since December though has been placed in all three starts over timber and should be thereabouts again, but we prefer MOULIN DE LA CROIX. She returns from a length lay-off but is the only one of Nigel Twiston-Davies' team to have made the long trip north and she'll have no problems with the ground judged on her winning form in chases.
