ILEWINDELILAH has been in good form recently including when runner-up behind a subsequent chase winner over C&D last time out and she can register her second success in four starts since joining this yard in the concluding staying handicap hurdle. The selection races off a mark 12lb higher than when winning at Fontwell a month ago and can get the better of another mare in Spy In The Sky who can finish runner-up once more having filled the same position at Worcester on handicap debut last time. Night Generation who finished third at Plumpton on his hurdling return and Generous Chief who has placed on all three starts here are others to consider.
