COREY'S COURAGE made a winning racecourse debut in a Uttoxeter bumper then completed a hurdles hat-trick at this time a year ago. She hasn't run up to that form so far this season but takes a drop in class. Fortune Cookie hadn't shown much before a slightly better effort at Leicester but Mistral Lady would have a chance on her penultimate run at Lingfield and she may have pulled too hard at Taunton next time. Hillfinch was long odds-on for a course and distance maiden just over a year ago and duly obliged but she's shown very little this campaign.
