DORKAS has been in good form this year and she ran well to finish runner-up to a progressive rival off a 2lb higher mark over hurdles last time out. The selection has good form on the forecast heavy ground and is taken to get the better of Witness Of Fashion, victorious in this race in 2015 who can put a couple of disappointments behind him on his return to this venue. Of the remainder top weight Slemish put in a decent effort to finish fourth last time out and can claim third this time.
