AGAINST ALL ODDS struggled in a Listed contest at Haydock last time but won in novice company at Catterick earlier. She gets another chance as one of several handicapping for the first time. Of those, Fakenham winner Midnight Ginger may prefer faster going while Lady Of The Night placed at Exeter and steps up in trip. Fivetotwelve ran well for second in a maiden hurdle over track and trip back in November while Precious Eleanor placed in a handicap at Ludlow and is preferred to Off The Hook.
