Promise in bumpers but failed to build on hurdles debut second here when remote third at Wincanton (15f) 19 days ago. Remains with potential, especially over this longer trip.

A few of these are open to improvement, not least ALLAVINA who seems sure to build on her Fontwell success now stepped up in trip. Lily of Leysbourne rates a big threat if backing up her Doncaster win achieved after a long absence and Lilly Pedlar can't be discounted either for her top yard now her stamina is drawn out more.

Betting Forecast

6/1 Lilly Pedlar, 3/1 Allavina (Ire), 4/1 Global Harmony (Ire), 10/1 Buttsbury Lady, 20/1 Lady In Hiding (Ire), 300/1 Cucumber Gin (Ire), 300/1 Sakandi, 33/1 Rock On Rita (Ire), 250/1 Wee Fly Too, 28/1 Home Farm House (Ire), 66/1 The Tithe (Ire)
