We're back with the mares and fillies for this closing bumper, which looks wide open. Miss Mash is possibly the best of the newcomers on breeding but we'll stick with experience this time. Little separated Kayf Grace and Fizzy Dancer at Southwell but that form wouldn't normally be good enough to win a race at jumping's HQ. Happy Diva was a much shorter price than HOPONANDSEE in a race at Chepstow won by last week's Aintree Listed winner Hollies Pearl but she stayed on strongly into fourth after running green in the early stages and will know more today. Midtech Valentine and Wishing Wind are also open to improvement while Girly Girl only found one too good on her debut under Rules at Towcester. Tobouggaloo made a winning start at Exeter but now has a penalty to carry over an extra half-mile.
