A number of these are returning from a break but Heavenstown was a long away ahead of Cyrien Star when winning at Bangor in March and is preferred to Still Believing and He's The Daddy. Ashford Wood won over 2m4f here on soft ground on his hurdling debut in the spring but didn't build on that. Henri Parry Morgan is more interesting after a promising reappearance over track and trip but MOLLY'S A DIVA should stay 3m this year. Kim Bailey's mare only gave best close home on her reappearance at Worcester and can go one better off a 4lb higher mark with that run under her belt.
