Best effort over hurdles when narrowly denied at Kelso (21f) in April but only sixth on both comeback outings this autumn. First-time cheekpieces need to give her something extra.

Forecasts

Passing Pleasure (2/1), Snow Dragon (2/1), Looking Splendid (4/1), Jehol De Thaix (6/1), Anamanda (8/1), Lillistar (10/1), State Of Honor (20/1)

Verdict

JEHOL DE THAIX should be sharper with his Wetherby reappearance under his belt and gets the nod for Nicky Richards. Fellow low-mileage sort Passing Pleasure could be a threat if his new stable has him fully tuned for his first outing in 9 months. Looking Splendid is next on the list.
