WHITEOAK FLEUR has yet to finish out of the frame over hurdles and, though a little exposed, has shown enough to suggest she can run a modest race like this. Velkera was third on debut at Market Rasen but tailed off on a subsequent visit. Fforbidden Love had decent bumper form the season before last but will probably need this and winning pointer Seaside Girl is making her debut under Rules. Eleanor Bob has shown nothing in two runs over timber.
