Dual bumper winner, TIMETOCHILL beat a strong favourite over hurdles at Market Rasen last time with the rest nowhere. She looks to have little to fear from today’s opposition despite carrying a penalty. Animore has placed over a longer trip here but has a bit to find with the selection at the weights and Maulesden May is preferred having finished third over track and trip earlier in the month, albeit without posing a threat to the winner. Shabba Dada Do debuts under Rules having placed between the flags while Richard Fahey has booked Brian Hughes for hurdling debutant Royal Cosmic and Smart Lass arrives on the back of landing a double on the Flat.
