It was heavy going when point-to-point winner BALLYBOUGH MARY finished runner-up over course and distance. She looks to have every chance in this with normal progress. Jaunty Freyja is another to consider on her second at Ludlow last time but Ordered Lives disappointed when returning a losing favourite at Ayr. Easterly, Miss Fairfax, Quietlyflowsthedon and Midnight Air are all newcomers worthy of a second glance.
