Verdict

A PATH TO RONDA looks a stayer in the making but this drop in distance shouldn't be an issue in this company having finished third in a Grade 2 at Warwick 3 weeks ago. Bittalemon can follow the selection home returned to a more suitable level.

1	Flat winner for William Haggas and looks of similar ability over hurdles for this yard, winning 2 Cartmel novices in the summer. Predictably struggled up in class at Haydock after 4 months off in December but can make presence felt back at this level. 2nd Pick 1 Bittalemon Jockey: Leah Noreci Trainer: James Moffatt J: Leah Noreci T: James Moffatt	86	-	-	-	5%

8	Bumper winner on debut in 2023/24 season but beaten by much more than a near 2-year absence when well held on hurdling debut at Ayr last month, especially considering her strength in the betting. 3rd Pick 8 Sagonige Jockey: Brian Hughes Trainer: Ruth Jefferson J: Brian Hughes T: Ruth Jefferson	46	-	-	-	6%
