Verdict
Most of these have been around the block a few times but Queenohearts is an exception. However, Stuart Edmunds’ mare, a Grade 2 winner the season before last, hasn’t raced in almost two years. Goodbye Dancer is well treated nowadays but generally struggling for form but No Hiding Place won at Carlisle last month and Silva Eclipse has a decent record here. Dadsintrouble was second at Hereford in October and still in touch when unseating his rider later at Market Rasen but CLYNE is racing off his lowest mark since winning here in 2016 and he has run better than the results suggest in two runs against stronger opposition this term.
