Shininstar has yet to win in 15 starts under Rules and has been beaten a long way despite finishing third in recent races. Winning point-to-pointer LONGHOUSESIGNORA didn't do badly over hurdles considering she was always more likely to be a chaser and she made a fair start over the bigger obstacles at Bangor, which may be enough for this moderate heat. Bolving hasn't done as well as expected after a winning start in a bumper but Ask Catkin is from a family of smart staying chasers and will be ready for this after a spin over hurdles last month. Ortenzia made a successful debut over fences at Bangor then may have found fast ground against her at Fontwell before unseating at Plumpton. She's only four so should have more to offer but Gold Bonne Raine is 0-14 over hurdles and looks more of a staying type for chasing.
