Love Lane arrives on a hat-trick after comfortable wins at Market Rasen and Chepstow but has been raised 8lb and steps up a grade. Giveaway Glance was beaten when unseating her rider at Cheltenham last time but still isn’t badly treated and could well bounce back. ANNIE MC (NAP) was impressive when coming off a strong pace at Chepstow and is still relatively unexposed. A 10lb rise is a concern but Jonjo O’Neill Jr takes off 5lb and she looks to be heading in the right direction. Dinos Benefit was only beaten a nose at Ludlow earlier this month but this drop in distance probably isn’t in her favour.
