Iolani won over today’s trip at Carlisle before well beaten over a shorter distance at the same track while Kingrullah won a maiden hurdle over 2m1f here and makes his handicap debut. The latter has more scope than Outcrop, who went close at Bangor when last over hurdles, but GLORIOUS LADY (NAP) gets another chance. She was unable to prevent the progressive Snookered form landing hat-trick when runner-up over course and distance but still finished clear of the rest and drops down a grade for this. Ask Paddington will be sharper for last month’s comeback but Cousin Oscar has a bit to find with Outcrop.
