PEERLESS BEAUTY is preferred to Famous Function, who only won a match at Fontwell. With Jack Hogan claiming 7lb, she is only conceding 3lb to bumper winner Betty's Belle, who is making her hurdling debut after a lay-off. Copperfasten and Apple Away are both points winners and have more scope than Liloo D'Ores.
