Verdict

Useful novice hurdler JUBILEE ALPHA impressed when successful at Cheltenham in May and she's fancied to follow up on her first start in open company. Bethpage is a mare on the up and stands out as the main danger, while Porter In The Park finished second in this race last year and ran as well as ever on her return last month.

2	Progressive mare (previous course winner) was only narrowly denied at Cheltenham and Market Rasen prior to defying a career-high mark at Stratford (26.4f) in May, winning with a bit in hand. Versatile trip-wise and we may not have seen the best of her yet. 2nd Pick 2 Bethpage (Ire) Jockey: Rex Dingle Trainer: Emma Lavelle J: Rex Dingle T: Emma Lavelle	100	-	-	-	12%

4	Runner-up in this race (off 2 lb lower) last year and arrives better than ever, very well backed when third at Ludlow (21.2f) last month, a 12-week absence perhaps telling late on. Merits plenty of respect. 3rd Pick 4 Porter In The Park (Ire) Jockey: Charlie Todd Trainer: Emma Lavelle J: Charlie Todd T: Emma Lavelle	99	-	-	-	10%
