Litterale Ci rarely runs a bad race but hasn’t won over timber since September 2018. Panic Attack also struggles to get her head in front but Kissesforkatie reversed Ludlow running with Bellatrixsa at Chepstow, though the going may have turned against Jeremy Scott’s mare. Eglantine Du Seuil is a pound lower than when second in this last year but didn’t show much back over hurdles at Wincanton in November and hasn’t raced since. Gazette Bourgeoise might benefit from a drop back in trip but has a mountain to climb on collateral form against NORA THE XPLORER (NAP), who looks very well treated here having took a big step forward at Haydock last month when trouncing a mare rated 120 off level weights. Her yard sent out the winner of this 12 months ago.
