Ethelwyn hasn't really taken to hurdles so far but could figure in a race like this. Wishing Wind is probably improving while Middleton's Minx ran her best race so far when third at Exeter. Bitter Virtue looks the pick of David Dennis' two runners and Time Is Money shouldn't be ignored but WHATSTHATALLABOUT was still moving well when falling at Bangor last month and the booking of Richard Johnson today suggests connections think she'll put that setback behind her.
