Rano Pano was in a Ludlow seller yesterday and would have a penalty in this if successful. She also finished behind Miss Conduct earlier this month. John Spearing's filly, who has the most experience, is sure to have her supporters here but ACHT didn't run at all badly on her hurdling debut at Chepstow. She won twice on the Flat in Germany and this should be within her capabilities. Newcomer Ironically should have no problems with either ground or trip and it would be no surprise if she were to make the frame but the remainder have plenty to prove.
