Most of these are tackling fences for the first time but Jamie Snowden’s pair, Spitfire Girl and Harry's Hottie, are definitely worth a second look. Reine Fee was a winner when last seen but that was in May of last year. Kym Eyre will probably handle the going better than most but we’ll give TRAPISTA a final chance to come good given she won on very testing ground when trained in France.
