3/1
Three-time winner last term who has looked no more than averagely treated in handicaps of late, respectable third at Kelso 20 days ago. Slight drop back in trip should help.

Made frame in all 3 bumpers last term and most promising start to hurdling, again having something to spare when seeing off a subsequent winner at Ludlow on handicap debut. Hat-trick is on the cards.

Fairly useful handicap hurdler for Willie Mullins, but made a low-key start for this yard, never a threat when seventh at Newcastle last time.

Fairly useful hurdler who has looked suited by this trip of late and had a bit in hand when scoring at Hereford last time. Should give another good account.

Pretty consistent performer who doubled career tally at this track (20.5f) in November. Has held form since but she's yet to prove herself over this far.

Good third of 12 in handicap hurdle (11/2) at Downpatrick (18.8f, good to soft) 26 days ago. Up in trip. One to consider back in Britain.

DIDONATO continued her improvement when landing a Ludlow handicap in March and, with that form having been boosted subsequently, she's well fancied to complete a hat-trick despite a 6-lb rise. Global Harmony is also going the right way, so she's regarded as the chief threat ahead of Irish-raider Lily's Gem.
