LADY HIGHT had clearly shown a little at home prior to her debut at Haydock as she was sent off favourite. In the end, Nicky Henderson's filly could only finish fourth but she rallied well after getting outpaced entering the straight and can recoup losses on this stiffer course. Bangor winner Dream Performance is facing a stiff task under her penalty while Varkala was beaten by a stablemate of the selection at Hereford but had Addiction behind that day and should have come on for the run. Newcomers to note include the Silver Patriarch filly Kentford Grey Lady, Accordingtoeileen and Mew Gull, who is a half-sister to a couple of winning hurdlers.
