Hijran won at Bangor when last in action back in March and is 3lb higher on her return. Shambra is another having her first start since March having won a novices hurdle at Wetherby before that while Solstalla has been competing in better company since scoring at Worcester last month and has decent claims back at this level. But TOBOGGAN’S FIRE (NAP) also drops in class after finishing fourth at Uttoxeter on last month’s handicap debut and Donald McCain’s charge makes most appeal with that comeback run under her belt. Undefined Beauty is sliding back down the weights and makes more appeal than Owners Day.
