CHOCCA WOCCA makes her hurdling debut having finished runner-up in a Listed bumper at Aintree last April. The first foal of high-class hurdler Chomba Womba can further enhance Nicky Henderson's impressive strike rate at this venue. Awesome Rosie is penalised for her win at Wincanton on Boxing Day but Miss Ranger should go well again after finding only one too good in both starts over timber so far. For Goodness Sake finished second at Warwick earlier and also has a shout on that form.
