Ratoute Yutty and Kentford Mallard finished 1-2 in this last year so both are worth considering again. Gaia Vallis was only beaten a neck over 3m at Taunton two weeks ago while Div Ine Tara has hinted at ability. SADIE HILL won in a higher grade at Ffos Las and may double her tally if reproducing that form here, though First Venture looks capable of improving on what she’s shown so far.
