Lady Reset did really well over hurdles and on the Flat last year, winning five times in all. She has won after a break in the past but others look better treated. Imperial Joe was always travelling well when scoring at Exeter last month and No No Tonic looks held on that run but he was disappointing here next time, though that was over 2m5f. GAOT would probably have won at Uttoxeter last month had she not unseated her rider two out. She can race off the same mark here and Kevin Brogan takes off 3lb so she’s preferred to the returning course and distance winner Ragamuffin.
