This mares’ handicap looks wide-open but Belatrix Lestrange arrives on a hat-trick after two victories at Ludlow and shouldn’t be far away again. Methag has only found one too good in two of her last three and is another to consider. Rubytwo finally got off the mark at Newcastle last time but she is the senior runner in this and the going might not suit Prussia With Love. Tipalong Tyler need further but Wheesht will be better for a run at Southwell and a wind operation may have improved Rarest Diamond. The handicapper has taken a chance with VIVA VITTORIA and she could be worth an each-way interest in this under a 10lb claimer.
