Emma Beag would probably have preferred a bit further but suggested she was still ahead of the handicapper when successful at Carlisle last month. Sophie Fatale is 0-10 but has placed numerous times while Jessiemac is seeking a third course victory, though may need to drop a few more pounds before getting her head in front again. STYLE IT OUT was having only her third run over hurdles when scoring at Catterick. She’d caught the eye at Doncaster earlier in a race that’s working out well and isn’t overburdened on her handicap debut. Timeless Beauty won over track and trip two runs ago but was then well beaten at Sandown while the maiden Grey Girly needs to find more and Brian Hughes rides stable companion Hidden Dilemma.
