Ayr Of Elegance probably didn’t stay 3m at Perth earlier this month. She won over this trip at Plumpton last year and is one of the more likely ones in this opener. Makety is 0-10 over hurdles but has won over fences and SPOT ON SOPH was also chasing in the spring. She won off this mark at Catterick in March and can break her duck over the smaller obstacles if arriving here fully wound-up. Guidedbythescience has been rested since disappointing at Uttoxeter in July but Blue Collar Glory is high enough in the ratings for what she’s achieved.
