Timeless Beauty (4/6), Doyannie (6/1), Poniente (7/1), Kestrel Valley (15/2), Lilith (10/1), Glorious Lady (33/1)

The handicapper might have overreacted after TIMELESS BEAUTY's handicap-debut win at Ayr last season, but she should prove at least as good over fences and has joined an in-form yard. Point-winner Lilith made a low-key start in this sphere at Ffos Las on return but is worth another chance back on better ground.
