EMMAS DILEMMA (NAP) posted her best effort over hurdles so far back on good ground at Market Rasen last time. Beaten less than a length in third on that occasion, Olly Murphy’s mare gets the vote today ahead of Fifty Shades. The latter scored over fences before narrowly beaten over timber at Huntingdon while West To Crossgales has been thereabouts over shorter trips recently and can also figure. Amble Inn is another stepping up in distance but will need to improve on her latest fourth at Southwell to get involved.
