WHATSDASTORY won at Taunton at the start of the year and this track is similar in nature. She’ll appreciate a return to chasing having run over hurdles in the spring. Ayr Of Elegance has won over hurdles and on the Flat but didn’t sparkle in three runs over fences in Ireland. Oborne Lady is a modest maiden who is racing from 20lb out of the handicap.
