The lightly-raced HELL HATH NO FURY opened her account over 1m5f here last time. She won by five lengths and can shrug off a penalty with this longer trip likely to suit. Honourable Knight has been winning over shorter trips of late but the previous course and distance winner is still preferred to the frustrating Dumbfounded, who made the frame for the sixth time in succession at Kempton last month. Mick Duggan won over track and trip on his return to action and is unexposed over the distance.
