Rene's Girl picked up a penalty for her victory over this trip at Warwick over Hollies Pearl, who had beaten her previously. Dan Skelton's mare is on the upgrade and should get into contention though the concession of 7lb to MOZO may prove beyond her. David Pipe's filly easily landed a bumper at Uttoxeter on heavy going in May and though a beaten favourite on her hurdling debut in similar conditions at Lingfield she found the minimum trip too short and this will be more to her liking. Miss Crick was staying on over the minimum here last month and has more to offer while Pulling Power has shown plenty of potential in bumpers and was by no means disgraced in a Cheltenham Listed contest last time.
