Winner of her first two starts for this yard in August last year but was beaten subsequently and was held when falling at Uttoxeter (2m, good) on seasonal debut recently. Interesting to see how she fares.
Point-to-point winner and handicap mark is falling following three heavy defeats since returning this season. Others hold stronger claims in this event.
Placed over an extended 2m on good ground here in June last year. Struggled on seasonal debut at Uttoxeter (2m, good) last time out however and more needed.
Placed three times in the spring including over an extended 2m2f at Stratford (good-to-firm) in June. Well held in two subsequent outings most recently on the Flat last month.
Placed once from 15 starts under Rules and beaten 29L on his most recent hurdles outing at Sedgefield (2m1f, good) in May. Wears cheekpieces for the first time.
Beaten 6L into second in a 3m handicap hurdle at Southwell (good) in August 2016. Absent since a heavy defeat later that month and others make more appeal.

Premier Rose (3/1), Anton Dolin (4/1), Cyrano Star (4/1), Patience Tony (5/1), West To Crossgales (11/2), Prairie Impulse (7/1), West Class (15/2), Helf (10/1), Bold Prince Rupert (40/1)
ANTON DOLIN was running well over hurdles when last in action and he can take the second division of this handicap hurdle. The selection has the trip and ground to suit and can see off top weight Premier Rose who can finish runner-up ahead of West To Crossgales who should appreciate this drop back in distance.
