Verdict
DANVILLA doesn't look entirely straightforward but was having only her second start over hurdles when beating She Ranks Me by five lengths over this trip at Bangor. Donald McCain's grey has won easily since at Cartmel but there seems no logical reason why she should reverse the earlier form here on identical terms. Winning pointer Two Mile Bridge could run into a place but it's hard to make a case for any of the others.
