Jaunty Freyja landed a gamble when winning a handicap at Chepstow recently but has plenty to find on these terms with UCANAVER. The latter struggled in Listed company last time having won at Warwick earlier and can defy a penalty returning to this level. Rock Of Fame disappointed at Bangor having placed on her earlier hurdling bow while Jen's Georgie was still beaten a long way when runner-up at Chepstow though finished clear of the rest. Universal Brook will be sharper for a recent hurdling debut here and looks best of the rest.
