Evan Williams has his string in fair form but Chrysander was not able to take advantage of the favourable terms in a claimer when returned to hurdles at Ludlow when last seen in April and looks best passed over with a better bet appearing to be REBEL DANCER, who gets the vote. The selection unseated his rider at Ludlow when last seen over hurdles in May but had run well prior to that and again on the flat recently so he looks worth siding with for Ian Williams. Tim Vaughan's Josephine Malines is bound to be popular following an improved effort when chasing home Lodgician at Stratford earlier this month and has claims as does Phoenix Eye, who has run consistently well in recent starts.
