She Ranks Me won a match at Plumpton after falling on her debut over fences at Ayr but she doesn't look an easy ride and there wouldn't have been much between her and PRIMA PORTA over hurdles. Evan Williams' mare gets 6lb here and, if the obstacles don't get in the way, is fancied to come out on top. September Blaze appears to have lost her way but Floral Spinner was placed in nine of her 12 starts over timber, though never managed a victory.
