The winner of this usually goes on to make a name for herself over hurdles so the form is worth following. Mystic Dreamer was making her racecourse debut when beaten less than a length by SILVER FOREVER at Ascot with Eyes Right and Easter Gold fourth and fifth. She should have benefited from the experience but the winner was a shade keen that day so did well to hang on and is 4lb better off now – she holds Briery Express and Eleanorofaquitaine on earlier running. Whitehotchillifili was just beaten under a penalty at Warwick after making a winning debut at Southwell and still has some scope and so does Farne, who just got caught in the mud at Uttoxeter last time and holds Lugg River on the form book. Redbridge Gold stayed on dourly at Doncaster but Ludlow scorer Misty Whisky will need to take a big step forward.
