Taj Badalandabad bids for hat-trick having won a couple of novice events. But the proven handicappers make more appeal including Run Ructions Run. The latter looks sure to figure with a good second to On Tour over track and trip under her belt having won four times over hurdles last season. But KILCOOLEY is just preferred on last month's second in the Listed Feilden Hurdle at Newbury, especially with Charlie Deutsch taking 5lb off his back today. Market Rasen winner Dunlough Bay may struggle in this grade while River Deep and Muckle Roe are also upped in class for this.
