Bull And Bush, Pyleigh Lass, Mistral Reine and Cove all arrive off the back of recent wins in this. Perhaps the former is the most interesting as she beat a well-regarded sort at Doncaster last month. Dardanella is a consistent mare but it looks like the handicapper has a grip now on Truckers Darling and Tea Caddy while Teochew has continued to climb the weights despite four defeats in a row. MISS MILBORNE is very well treated on her old form and looked to be on the way back when second over fences at Leicester last time. The visor should help her concentrate back over hurdles and she could be worth an interest in an open-looking handicap.
