Dahills Hill won easily at Ludlow but is 11lb higher now. Beyeh has picked up a penalty for winning a seller at Fakenham on Friday while Kalaniti was only fourth when sharing favouritism at Musselburgh earlier this month. Pretty Reckless has won here over fences but returns from a break on going that is softer than ideal. Grand Turina, Northern Beau and Jaune Et Bleue all have claims but Isle Of Ewe has a long absence to overcome, though Richard Johnson rides. SAMARAYIA chased home a winner rated 120 at Exeter and may not have enjoyed the heavy going next time at Leicester. She still has time on her side so gets a tentative vote, though Iconic Sky continues to slip down the handicap and could be a danger.
