Rolling Dough won this a year ago under Hannah Watson and though 10lb higher she looks to be running into form. Winning point-to-pointer GRIMLEY GIRL has been gradually getting her act together over hurdles and made all at Fakenham for which a 5lb rise may not be enough to prevent a follow-up. Acapulco Bay has been running well and was only caught in the shadow of the post by Lady Garvagh at Uttoxeter and any further rain would help his cause. Winning bumper Carnaross hasn't had much experience and should do better while May Be Some Time, three times a winner on the Flat, has shown some potential over hurdles and has dropped to what looks a fair mark.
