HAWTHORN COTTAGE won this last year before completing a double at Plumpton. She looks to have been aimed at another crack and though 10lb higher than a year ago get the vote. Getaweapon landed a novices' hurdle at Hereford before a fine run over 2m5f at Ludlow. A winning point-to-pointer, she looks certain to go well while Found On made all in heavy ground at Leicester and should have conditions to suit. Kestrel Valley has won two Class 5 handicaps at around this trip and is another suited by the ground. It's a long time since Lily Of Leysbourne ran but her stable is in cracking form.
