Maggie Blue only found one too good over a longer trip here six weeks ago. Pixie Cut was second over course and distance last month on her latest start over timber but was still beaten eight lengths and is a pound higher. Cinder Rua has been getting closer and Liam McKenna's claim in her favour again while it's impossible to leave the returning Mistress Mole out of calculations, despite the erratic form of Gordon Elliott's yard. SAMEDI SOIR may have found the ground too quick last time at Uttoxeter having won earlier over 2m4f at Hexham. She should be involved in the finish here if lasting home.
