Can take a keen hold in her races, so small field possibly not ideal, but it hasn't stopped her from winning at Ludlow and Huntingdon this season. Track clearly ideal, wouldn't want too much rain but chances again if settling as she has a good turn of foot.
Has temperament (has refused to start) but plenty of ability as well, and he travelled really well at Uttoxeter last time before staying on late to take second. That eyecatching run was a marked step up, and chances if building on it here.
First run for new yard that do so well with other's castoffs, and this one looks a shrewd purchase after an easy win in a bumper at Gowran Park last time. Previously won a point-to-point and although a little further will suit, can't be discounted for a yard in form.

Moderate on the Flat, stays a mile and won at that trip at Southwell last winter. Not so good on the Flat recently and looks a bit outclassed on hurdles debut today.
Only win in 14 starts came at Wolverhampton last January when beating My Renaissance over 1m4f, so should stay this trip and looks the sort to win a race or two in this sphere, but may need to be handicapped first. Best watched today.

Second at Hexham to the long odds-on Symphony Of Angels a standout piece of form, and she couldn't repeat it next time out at Perth, finishing well beaten. Bit to prove after that and others preferred.

Forecasts

Mcgroarty (10/11), Hestina (2/1), Tred Softly (7/1), Free One (14/1), Stun Gun (33/1), Reivers Lodge (40/1)

Verdict

With no guaranteed front runner, there's the possibility of a messy race. Dr Newland won this with Sir Toby last year and he looks to have found another good purchase in the shape of MCGROARTY who has a nice mix of speed and stamina and could be up to winning this. Free One might be next best, with Hestina rounding out the trifecta.
