Flat winner Daniel Deronda showed ability in a couple of runs here in the spring and has had wind surgery since. Doyouknowwhatimean should have more to offer but bumper winner Bobby Socks has disappointed so far over timber. Red Dirt Road won his only start between the flags in January and has joined a powerful yard but is bred for stamina. A bumper winner here in May, MRS GRIMLEY came up against a couple of useful novices on her debut over hurdles and can land this with normal progress.
