Took another step forward when making it 4 wins in her last 7 starts at Ludlow (2m, good to soft) 5 days ago. Penalty demands more but can't rule out in current mood.

Low-mileage hurdler. As good as ever after a wind op last term, finishing runner-up at Fontwell and Haydock in the spring. Likely to be in the shake-up again.

Bumper winner for Julie Camacho who made an encouraging hurdling/stable debut at Chepstow last autumn. Shade disappointing but it's still relatively early days.

Dual hurdles winner in 2019 and scored over fences at Uttoxeter last summer. Has struggled since but mark has some down as a result. Type to bounce back at some point.

Forecasts

A Little Chaos (3/1), Panic Attack (9/2), Cotton End (11/2), Paris Dixie (15/2), River Icon (9/1), Catchmeifyoucan (10/1), Simply Loveleh (12/1), Princess T (12/1), Whiteoak Fleur (18/1), Bit On The Side (20/1), Ceara Be (25/1)

Verdict

RIVER ICON is too well handicapped to ignore and gets the nod to build on a better run at Haydock last month. A Little Chaos has filled the runner-up spot twice already this spring and may provide the chief threat ahead of the penalised Cotton End.

  1. RIVER ICON
  2. A LITTLE CHAOS (IRE)
  3. COTTON END (IRE)
