KAYF GRACE won a Grade 2 bumper at Aintree in April and the half-sister to several winning hurdlers will likely start a short-price on her return. Report To Base is penalised for winning at Uttoxeter on his hurdling bow but should go well again while Bodyswerve produced a much better effort at Ludlow last time and can also figure. Point-to-point winner Willie Boy was beaten out of sight on his first start over timber but still looks best of the rest.
