ABIGAIL LYNCH scored twice over the minimum trip before blundering away her chance when tackling 2m5f at Warwick. Her penalty is offset by Jamie Bargary's claim and she can get back on the winning trail. Allez Encore won a Listowel bumper in September and made a very promising start for Kim Bailey when running away with a Plumpton maiden. She'll improve again and is a definite contender. Hurricane's Girl looked a certain future winner when runner-up at Worcester but didn't get far when well supported at Towcester in November. She'll be fancied to make amends while Monbeg Dolly, a recruit from the point-to-point field, will have come on for last month's run in a bumper. The remainder will need to improve on what they have shown so far.
