HIDDEN DILEMMA is due for a very quick turnaround here but should connections decide she has recovered sufficiently she would have to be considered a very well handicapped mare having absolutely hacked up at Carlisle which will surely see her rise a lot more than 7lb which is the penalty she carries here. Birch Vale is the most appealing of several newcomers to handicaps of interest. Question Of Faith has an enviable strike rate and made a pleasing return to hurdling most recently; she too is considered.
