1/10
Did not show much in a couple of bumpers, but has taken well to hurdles, flooring an odds-on rival at Exeter two starts ago and finishing runner-up at this track last time. She is no world-beater, but this race is not the strongest and she sets the standard.

10/1
Dual point-to-point winner who was pulled up on her last two starts between the flags before succumbing to a similar fate on her hurdles debut in the race at this track in which Foxy Act was second. Tongue tied for the first time and needs huge improvement.
Has yet to beat a rival in three completed races, while the other saw her unseat her rider at the first hurdle. Given that record, she can only be watched until showing something.

16/1
Has shown very little in seven starts over hurdles and was tailed off when pulled up at this track last time. Easily opposed.

Forecasts

Foxy Act (1/10), Moontripper (4/1), Milan Hart (13/2), Lady Jameson (10/1), Spanish Queen (16/1), Nenergy's Quest (33/1)

Verdict

Connections of FOXY ACT will not have believed their good fortune when seeing the final declarations.. Although she has her limitations, this is such a weak contest that she cannot be opposed. Moontripper's last run was her best and she can follow her home. Milan Hart is only a speculative choice for the minor placing.
  1. Foxy Act
  2. Moontripper
  3. Milan Hart
