Free Falling won a couple of minor races in the autumn and will be better for a recent run on the Flat. Arctic Actress looked a promising type when scoring comfortably at Doncaster in December but disappointed on a return visit a month later where she didn't jump well. Madame Jasmine scored over 3m2f here last March and this looks on the short side while Matrow's Lady couldn't cope with a 7lb rise at Folkestone after her victory at Fontwell. SCHISM scored at Leicester in December under AP McCoy who hasn't been on board for the filly's two poor subsequent runs. The champion takes the ride again and his mount can return to winning ways.
