12/1
Dual bumper winner who also won a pair of novice hurdles last season. Far from disgraced on chase debut at Carlisle last month but subsequently well held back in this sphere at Cheltenham recently. Others more convincing.

13/2
Won first 2 starts last term but has yet to score since and went backwards from reappearance at Warwick last month. Percentage call is to look elsewhere.

Reportedly bled when pulled up at Ludlow in April but had won 2 of her first 3 starts over timber and is worth monitoring in market on return to action.

Still to score in handicap company and hasn't really fired in a couple of outings this term. Others preferred.

25/1
Scored 3 times over hurdles last term but fell heavily early on at Chepstow in October and may have needed the outing when below par at Carlisle last time. Not out of things.

Ran creditably over C&D in May but has disappointed twice since, including on return at Sandown last month. Bit to prove now.

Age: 6|  Weight: 10-8| J: Liam Harrison| T: A Ralph| OR:  100
18/1
Would have gone close but for departing at Warwick (19f) in November of last year and may have needed outing, on first start since, when seventh at Ffos Las (21.9f) 36 days ago. Still looking for first success, though.

13/8
Won 2 of her 4 starts over hurdles and improved again when good second of 7 in handicap at Doncaster (16.6f, good, 11/2) 26 days ago. Likely has more to offer yet and this longer trip may well be up her street.

Forecasts

Crystal Glance (13/8), Lavida Adiva (9/4), Little Miss Dante (13/2), Could Be Trouble (7/1), Touchy Feely (17/2), Lunar Discovery (12/1), Victoria Milano (14/1), Sweet Magic (18/1), Majestic Jameela (25/1)

Verdict

CRYSTAL GLANCE is going the right way and this longer trip could unlock further improvement. She is fancied to return to winning ways. Could Be Trouble and Majestic Jameela can also make their presence felt.
