6/1
Useful front runner and hard to catch at her best, some 8lb lower than last winning mark now but recent efforts far from encouraging and she looks a shadow of herself at present. Best watched.

11/4
Yet to score after 10 starts, and handicap efforts have got progressively worse. Still time for her to turn it around but yard still a bit quiet, and bottom line is that she has plenty to prove now.

20/1
All but refused to race last time out, and threw her jockey off at the start. Had shown the pdd bit of form before that, and her close third to Sister Sibyl at Leicester reads well enough, but clearly comes with risks now,

2/1
Built on her good third to Irish Roe at Southwell two starts back with a victory there last time out, the step up to today's trip seemingly bringing about the improvement. 6lb higher and may need the rain to stay away, but not many here in form, and she must hold a chance again.

3/1
Was doing well when last seen over hurdles (back in 2015) and recent effort on the Flat (after an absence) suggests she retains her ability. On a winning mark now and as she handles most ground, has a bit in her favour and not discounted.

22/1
Was an easy winner at Wetherby in January but it's been all downhill since, and recent efforts rather suggest she's gone off the boil. Still 7lb higher than last win, and plenty to prove here.

18/1
Almost caused a shock when nearly getting the better of the long odds-on favourite at Stratford recently, but that wasn't much of a race, in truth, and the handicapper has taken it literally, putting her up 11lb. This just looks too hard from that mark.

Forecasts

Sweet Holly (2/1), Lapalala (11/4), River Icon (11/4), Wintour Leap (3/1), Lady Of Longstone (6/1), Tara's Rainbow (18/1), Sue Be It (20/1), Tsundoku (22/1)

Verdict

RIVER ICON doesn't have anything as well handicapped as Land Of Vic to cope with this time and looks the most reliable option in a trappy heat. Sweet Holly and Wintour Leap can give her the most to think about, the former looking progressive and the latter refinding some form after a long absence.
