First Feerie makes plenty of appeal in an interesting heat but Jim Bobs Girls is feared and Gallileo Figaro respected. She didn't appear to see this trip out last season but her breeding suggests she will and she has another year on her back now. She posted a highly creditable effort when second to a gambled on winner on her reappearance, staying on nicely in the closing stages. She could have done without a 4lb rise for that but should find this company more to her liking. Jim Bobs Girl's debut for a new yard at Warwick was a career best by some considerable margin. Richard Johnson takes over in the saddle from a conditional jockey and she looks sure to mount a bold bid despite having gone up a remarkable 35lbs in the weights. Money for French raider Paranoia would look significant whilst Gallileo Figaro made an excellent start to her hurdling career when winning at Folkestone. This longer trip and slower ground are in her favour and she has to be on the short-list. Strawberry and Pyleigh Lady should run their races but are high enough in the weights and could struggle against some potentially well handicapped rivals, of whom, First Feerie is selected.
