Dainty Diva has yet to win over hurdles after ten starts but should enjoy this longer trip after staying on over the minimum at Plumpton. UPHAM RUNNING gained a surprise victory at Fontwell in December but couldn't handle a rise of 6lb in a better race on a return visit. Back in his correct grade he can return to winning ways. Sun Quest is the only course and distance winner in the line-up though that was only one of two victories in 77 career starts. Dazzling Rita is just 2lb higher than her victory at Stratford in October but Midnight Sequel was last seen running on the Flat in Jersey last summer and may need the outing.
