Wholeofthemoon has placed in both hurdle starts to date but has only won on the all-weather so far. City Vaults has a similar record over timber but Trick Of The Tail took a backward step in a maiden last time and is more exposed than most. JUMPING SUSIE couldn’t match the finishing speed of Imperial Data, who runs in the opener, when favourite at Kelso last month but John McConnell’s mare might be worth a final chance here as conditions may not be quick enough for the Flat winner My Chiquita.
