Gary Moore's KAHFRE did not race beyond a mile in three starts on the flat but has plenty of stamina in his pedigree and had no difficulty in seeing out the trip on his hurdling debut when successful at Plumpton last month and he can win again and defy the penalty. Alan Bailey's Bubbly Braveheart made a pleasing debut over timber when second of 15 behind Architrave at Stratford and he has to be considered. Mick Quinlan's Newton Abbot winner Joan D'Arc seemingly struggled under her penalty at Market Rasen and is likely to do so again, while Omaruru lacks any hurdling experience but was capable on the flat and cannot be discounted.
