Kihavah is in fine form having won over track and trip last month before scoring back over hurdles. Bollin Margaret went close again at Haydock having won at Thirsk earlier but Alice Stevens teamed-up with Ian Williams’ yard to win this last year and DREAM HARDER looks to have every chance. The latter was beaten only a length in this grade at Chester last time and won an amateurs' race on the all-weather early this year. Saratoga Gold won under Kayleigh Stephens at Newbury last summer and is another to consider but both Masque Of Anarchy and Yorkshire Lady have done all their winning over shorter trips so far.
