In depth
Verdict
Bilidn shaped with promise at Wincanton last month and may have a bit of scope. Forgivienne has already finished twice over course and distance and Evan Williams' winning pointer should find a small race before the end of the season while Abundantly, who won twice over 1m4f on the Flat for Hughie Morrison, isn't highly tried on her first run for Venetia Williams. PRINCESS CAETANI won twice on heavy ground on the level and may be suited by this longer trip over hurdles as she's been looking one-paced over 2m. David Dennis' mare is given another chance.
