First run since leaving Aidan Anthony Howard when last of 9 in handicap at Gowran (9.4f, good, 66/1) 19 days ago, lost all chance at start. Returns to hurdling now and this run should reveal more.

Forecasts

Hollow Spark (5/2), She's On Line (10/3), Be Fierce (4/1), Grizabella (9/2), Rene Artois (17/2), Maggie Walsh (11/1), Thefaithfulindian (22/1), Surviving Murmansk (25/1), Internet Biddy (66/1), Bonny Dazzler (100/1)

HOLLOW SPARK built on the promise of her previous run when scoring at Gowran last week and a 7 lb penalty may not prevent the follow up. Be Fierce and She's On Line should also go well.
