This is trappy, with a chance taken on BALLYCALLAN FAME who returned from a lay-off to win at a similar time last year and her second in her sole point provides hope that she'll take to fences. Across The Line and Thyme White are obvious dangers, but the former looked relucant on occasions when scoring at Southwell, while the latter tried to run out and unseated last time so they come with risks.
