HURRICANE RITA has changed stables and gone up in the weights again since finishing second at Hexham in March but she may have more to offer. Appletree Lane is still a maiden but doesn’t look badly treated on her reappearance. Prettylittlething has been chasing but did win over hurdles around this time last year and blinkers could re-ignite her enthusiasm. Cosmic Diamond won at Huntingdon last month but has been beaten off lower marks than this the last twice.
