Race Verdict
IXORA is two from two over larger obstacles and she is fancied to complete the hat-trick this evening with trip and ground ideal. Like Minded was not disgraced at Worcester last month and he could still have more to offer over fences so he commands the utmost respect, along with Nataani, who won with a bit up his sleeve over 2m4f at Worcester last time. Andreo Bambaleo is also considered following his Market Rasen success last month.
Selection: Ixora
Danger: Like Minded
Alternative: Nataani
