It's no surprise to see Barton Rose back over hurdles after a couple of moderate runs over fences in the spring. She should give a good account, despite her big weight, but we prefer PRESENTING LISA. She had excuses in both starts over hurdles last season and should confirm the promise she showed in points and bumpers sooner rather than later. Bangor third Impeccability may be capable of further improvement while Pixiepot produced her best run so far when second at Sedgefield last month. Cul Dealga was third at Warwick in May but a longer trip might suit.
