Sid Hoodie is 9lb higher than when landing this 12 months ago and hasn’t raced since November. Fricka has a similar absence to overcome but Rose To Fame will have benefited from her run at Stratford and has had wind surgery since. On The Quiet slips further down the weights but is now 0-9 over hurdles with Perfect Myth more interesting after an improved second over track and trip last month. GREEN OR BLACK should be competitive again after her last third at Stratford so gets the nod with her yard going well at present.
