Woodacre's recent second at Market Rasen looks the best for on offer here and he should make a bold bid to get off the mark under 5lb claimer Kyle James. But it would be no surprise if VIN CHAUD was to prove a bit better than this grade in time and she receives all the allowances on her racecourse debut. The Henderson filly is a full sister to useful hurdler Seren Gris and a half-sister to bumper winners Rouge Et Noir and Seren Rouge. Antonius Lad and Violets Boy may be the pick of the remainder.
