Tight Call has the ground in his favour and Really Super has been a good servant for Amy Murphy but is hard to assess returning to hurdling for the first time since 2019. She was pulled up last time at The Festival but has gone well here in the past. Supakalanistic and Shinobi were also pulled up when last seen but are better judged on previous efforts which bring both into contention in an open race. Linelee King is expected to continue progressing but has yet to encounter good ground whereas GIOVANNI CHANGE impressed on quick going over course and distance last time so may follow up despite a 7lb hike in the ratings.
