A poor race where Gay Kelleway probably holds the key and SHENANDOAH GIRL gets the vote ahead of stablemate Casablanca Minx. The selection disappointed in the Plumpton mud over hurdles last week, but there was nothing wrong with her win over this trip on Lingfield's Polytrack prior to that. She has gone up just 3lbs for that success and she will appreciate the return to this surface, so we'll take her to score. Casablanca Minx is penalised for winning last time, and although she has won off plenty of higher marks than this in the past, she may not be able to do so these days. Hatch A Plan is rarely seen out over this far, but has a win at the trip, and ran into a bit of form last time. He has a 6lb pull with the selection for three-and-a-half lengths last time they met and is not ruled out. Prince Of Medina is not easy to win with but has definite place claims, although preference is for Shenandoah Girl.
