Tokaramore is 0-8 over hurdles but stays further so will likely try and make all. Her latest second at Kelso came in an arguably stronger race and Bruce Lynn’s claim will aid her cause. Hope's Wishes reverted to hurdles at Plumpton and scrambled home. The going here will be much quicker but she shouldn’t be unduly inconvenienced. RUBYTWO is still seeking a first hurdles victory but she’s less exposed than the majority of these and probably came up against a well-handicapped rivals when second at Newcastle in December.
