BILIDN made it four in a row at Newcastle last week and today's drop back in trip is no problem. Neither is a 6lb penalty judged on her latest five length victory and Noel Quinlan's filly is worth following until beaten. Jamarjo went close over 2m at Kempton last time and can figure once again while Henry San has been hurdling since going close on the Polytrack in February. The Calling Curlew will have come on for a reappearance run at Brighton and three-time hurdles winner Cubism is unexposed on the Flat.
