Ssafa went close here last time having won over track and trip back in November. She's not out of this, but Wakeup Little Suzy steps up in trip having landed a claimer over a mile here at the end of last year. The latter's former stablemate SURENESS won twice on the Flat last season and should be sharper for a recent outing over hurdles for new trainer Charlie Mann. Though 4lb higher than her latest win, she gets the vote ahead of bumper winner Puzzle Time. The latter opened her account on the level with a recent win at Wolverhampton and another bold bid is expected.
