CHICAGO GAL shaped as if back in form on her most recent Flat outing and gets the tentative vote to notch a second win over hurdles. Purple Gown isn't straightforward but potentially has a bit more to offer as a hurdler, especially when the emphasis is on speed. Cawthorne Cracker had the race at his mercy when coming to grief at the last at Sedgefield just over 3 weeks ago and warrants plenty of respect, also.
