With Grace proved a big disappointment over a longer trip here nine days ago. She may not have stayed as she was a decent third over C&D at the start of the month but preference is still for FULL OF SPIRIT. Nicky Henderson's mare was returning from a long lay-off when fourth in a bumper at Uttoxeter and is sure to strip fitter here. David Arbuthnot has his string in good order so hurdling newcomer Shaded Edge, a winner six times on the Flat over 6f and 7f, may be best of the rest.
