Dazzling Rita looks the obvious one in this following her comeback second over a shorter trip here last month. But she's still been beaten a long way in all four starts over timber while Roses Legend was only fourth in a Ludlow claimer last time, though she had higher-rated rivals behind and that was still her best effort so far over hurdles. SANTAMINA showed promise a couple of years ago and has been lightly raced lately. He wouldn't need to improve much to land this and is preferred to Southwell second Sam's Pride while Drummers Drumming is becoming increasingly difficult to predict.
