Hunter chase winner over this trip. Yet to make a significant impact in handicaps but she might have needed the run when sixth of 10 on her Warwick reappearance 29 days ago. Yard among the winners.

KESTREL VALLEY was an emphatic winner over C&D when last seen and could take a bit of stopping if new trainer Nigel Twiston-Davies has her in similar form for this reappearance. Spitfire Girl is the obvious danger having finished first past the post off this mark at Ffos Las recently (subsequently demoted to second).
