Course winner Lady Elysia won at Chelmsford in October but KALAMITY KITTEN has the more recent form. The latter made a winning return over 1m4f at Kempton last month but ended last season with a victory over today’s longer trip at Ffos Las so a hat-trick looks on the cards for Ed de Giles' filly. Port Or Starboard has been hurdling since placing on the Flat last autumn while Master Grey went close over 1m5f here in September. Schwartz has been thereabouts over longer trips on the all-weather recently.
