Miss Austen looks the pick of those with experience on her close third to Miss Honey Ryder at Taunton last season. Rainyday Woman was also placed at Market Rasen last month but Capricia was beaten a long way at Ffos Las after finishing third here in October.

Follow That has a solid jumping pedigree but the vote goes to CATCH ME NOT, who shouldn’t be short of pace being the first foal to race of a King’s Theatre mare that won a bumper and four hurdle races.
