Lesanda, a bumper winner at Sedgefield a year ago, was having her first start since and making her hurdling bow when well beaten at Ayr earlier this month and will have come on for the run. Tchikita showed promise on her opening runs last season but has gone backwards, but Roll Over Rose has shown ability and ran well for a long way over 2m4f here in November. None of the newcomers make appeal so this should go to EMPRESS ORCHID. Twice narrowly beaten in bumpers, Donald McCain's mare has been well in touch until fading in the closing stages on her three starts over timber, all over longer trips, so this should prove ideal.
