Hope Probe has been in good form since reverting to the Turf and should be thereabouts again. Joe Fanning has chosen Party Rebel of Mark Johnston’s pair but Richard Fahey has a good record in this contest so IMPERIAL BUTTERFLY is likely to fit enough to do herself justice. She won twice at Newcastle in the autumn having shown promise previously on Turf. Lexington Liberty is interesting making her handicap debut while Enderman won at Redcar in September on good to soft.
