Lilywhite Gesture (6/4), Pretty Miss Mahler (7/4), Dr Moloney (4/1), Flycorn (12/1), Swantykay (28/1)

Rules chasing debutant Pretty Miss Mahler must definitely come into contention in a race where her rivals haven't shown masses of obvious potential over fences. She has a proven ability to handle testing conditions as well as plenty of stamina (hurdles winner over further). However, the booking of Richard Johnson is enough to sway towards LILYWHITE GESTURE. This 105 rated winning hurdler has posted a couple of respectable efforts over fences in Ireland during the latter part of August, and this race appeals as an ideal opportunity for her to break her duck over the larger obstacles.
