Kentford Heiress may well have landed a gamble at Towcester last month had she not come down two out but that run attracted the attention of the handicapper, who has raised her 5lb. Titch Strider and Multiview both have the ability to figure in a race like this while Midnight Sapphire attempts to defy a penalty for her victory at Newton Abbot last week. Izzy Piccolina and Uttoxeter third Catkin Copse are others to consider but it's about time DAINTY DIVA was getting her head in front. The Irish import has been dropped 3lb since her latest fifth at Towcester and would have every chance on her second over 2m3f at Taunton in March.
