Misty Mai ran her best race for a while over fences here last month and can race off the same mark back over timber. She is one for the shortlist along with the consistent Talkingpicturestv. Special Princess made a winning reappearance over 3m here on her first run for Rebecca Curtis and may still be on a decent mark, despite a 10lb rise, but we’ll take a chance on SNIPPETYDOODAH. She’s in the veteran stage now but is 4lb lower than her last winning mark and she only weakened at the last on her return to action at Fontwell.
