PENNY MALLOW didn’t take to fences at Warwick and remains relatively unexposed so could be a bit of value here. Bit On The Side is another with a chance back over hurdles after a spell chasing while Whitehotchillifili has been highly tried in her last two starts and is making her debut in handicaps. Vegas Blue didn't give her true running when failing to land the odds at Kempton but she disappointed on her only previous try on soft going. Misty Bloom showed a glimmer of her old form last time at Wincanton and drops further down the weights and Ruby Yeats ended last season in fine form. Emmpressive Lady won well at Exeter but the second has been beaten again since.
