Winning hurdler ONE FOR JOULES scored on the Flat in Ireland last year and went very close at Wolverhampton last time. She's taken to go one better stepping up in trip. Mohawk Ridge won over track and trip in August and can race off a lower mark today with his apprentice's claim taken into account but Strikemaster is 5lb higher than October's win at Musselburgh and hasn't raced since November. Heart Of Dubai registered a C&D victory last season and is fit from hurdling but it was heavy ground when Satwa Ballerina won at Yarmouth last month and she was well beaten on a fast surface last time.
