Pickworth, third on her hurdling debut at this track in June, won a bumper at Catterick in February and could make the frame if fully wound-up after her break. There are possibilities about Flichity, already placed four times over timber including when second at Ludlow last month. Dontupsettherhythm has hinted at ability in three runs under rules but this can go to Alan Swinbank's FIRST ROCK. This son of Rock Of Gibraltar came good in a bumper at Musselburgh on his latest start and still appears to be heading in the right direction.
