Ablaze has managed to win twice on Turf on the Flat but is only rated 53. CODED MESSAGE was a well beaten third on her hurdling bow at Uttoxeter last month though she probably needed the run and she showed potential in bumpers including on heavy ground. Impulsive Leader has been weakening quickly when tackling 2m3f on this track so this trip should be more to her liking but it's difficult to make a case for Lady Chartreuse, who has been a 100/1 chance on her last two starts though she did run a bit better at Warwick last time. See Forever and Astra Via have both been well beaten in their only starts over timber though the latter hails from a yard in top form.
