Avispa's run of seconds continued at Worcester on her reappearance and she has failed to land the odds on her last three starts now. JEAN FLEMING (NAP) is preferred as Jamie Snowden's mare won a handicap here in March and found only one too good on last month's return to action at Ludlow. Abundantly has also won a handicap and was placed off today's mark at Chepstow in March. She makes more appeal than maiden hurdle winner Aces Over Eights and the inconsistent Faerie Reel. Flute Bowl has been struggling for a while now though has slipped down the weights as a consequence.
