Miss Ceka is the one to be on here, she could have most to fear from Folie Dancer and Mistress To No One. The selection disappointed when well backed on debut but looked set to justify her connections' faith at Wincanton last time only to fall two from home. She's presumably none the worse for her tumble and can make amends. Butterfly Rose, Dancing Dasi and Otarie all enter the equation but the biggest challenge could come from Folie Dancer and Mistress To No One. Charlie Longsdon had a high profile winner in the week and his mare showed a smart level of form in bumpers last season but her lack of hurdling experience is a negative. Folie Dancer also showed ability in a bumper but bettered that form when getting to within 8 lengths of County Zen on her hurdling bow before running out a ready winner at Haydock. She's clearly got an engine and is respected but her penalty makes life harder and we prefer Miss Ceka.
