Endless chances in another fiercely-competitive handicap and TREACKLE TART is put forward more in hope than confidence. An easy winner on reappearance, she has faced some really tough tests in higher grade this term and will almost certainly appreciate the return to albeit highly competitive handicap company. She looked to need her last outing after a break, will appreciate conditions and gets on very well with Paul O'Brien who claims a useful 5lb. Lamanver Odyssey was disqualified after landing a valuable mares hurdle at Haydock but has strong claims for compensation here if in the same level of form. River Icon returns after a major break and is one to note in the market, whilst the likes of Miss Tynte, Naranja and Haul Us In cannot be ruled out and are preferred in that order.
