Verdict
A market move for Spensley on his reappearance could prove significant while Maoi Chinn Tire has won easily over fences since winning over 2m at Nottingham and is clearly in good heart. Kian's Delight has been in good form over hurdles while Kayaan was third over timber at Market Rasen after finishing second over 1m4f at Doncaster and is another to consider. Dubai Glory, second at Brighton and Salisbury on her last two starts, and the consistent Sugar Hiccup must also go on the short-list but we'll take a chance on the maiden DAWN GALE, who has run some excellent races over 1m4f and gives the impression there is more to come now she tackles handicaps. Hughie Morrison's filly starts off on a decent mark.
