Verdict
Animore, 7lb lower than her last winning mark over hurdles, is interesting as she has her sights lowered while Atlantic Dancer could figure if on a going day. Topkapi Star will strip fitter for a run at Wetherby last month, where she made late headway, but LONE STAR followed up a win at Newcastle with a close second to the in-form Barrier Peaks at Market Rasen and races off the same mark here. Poppy Rose is probably improving and can also play a part.
