Polly Peachum looked in need of a longer trip when completing a double over 2m1f at Stratford so this should prove ideal but a penalty could hand the initiative to FLORAL SPINNER. A dual bumper winner, she has been narrowly beaten in her last two starts over hurdles and this looks her opportunity. Mrs Peachey gained plenty of admirers when landing a bumper at Bangor in May and there should be more to come from her over timber while Witchesintune probably needed her comeback run and is another with the scope to do better. Mickie is stoutly bred and will appreciate stepping up to this trip.
