Final Reminder was in good form when last seen in May but most of her rivals are race-fit. MISTY BLOOM (NAP) won at Ludlow in April the last time she dropped into this grade and she is back on that same mark today with her rider’s 10lb claim another plus. Shantou Sunset has finally got her act together and looks a danger while there are also possibilities about handicap debutante Jersey Lady but Rock On Rita has finished tailed off in her three hurdle starts to date and is having a first run since March. Do Ya Feel Lucky is preferred to Midnight Mary of the remainder.
