Won on debut in France before two tame performances in Britain. This is no easier than those and there's no obvious reason why the step up in trip should bring about the required improvement.
Has run some nice races in novice events so far this season before never getting involved on handicap debut at Chepstow last time (2m3½f, heavy). Blinkers now applied which could help, but all her best form is on better ground.
Has shown snatches of ability on four starts over hurdles so far. Beaten into fifth on handicap debut last time but is entitled to come on for that run in an easier race and is dropped 2lb which well help. Blinkers on.
C&D winner last time who goes up 9lb for that easy win. This should prove less competitive in similar conditions, so he should prove the one to beat if able to overcome the rise in the weights.

Bound Hill (6/5), Serpico (13/8), Poisoned Berry (8/1), Prouts Pub (8/1), Bad Boy Du Pouldu (9/1)
This can go to BOUND HILL, a C&D winner last time who finds himself in less competitive company this time round. Needs to overcome a 9lb hike the weights but that shouldn't be too difficult in a race of this quality. Serpico looks one of the potential improvers in the fields and the first time blinkers should help, so he rates a threat, as does Prouts Pub who can run a big race now down in class.
