SIMPLY LOVELEH made her debut in a Listed race at Market Rasen in January and wasn’t disgraced. The form of that race probably hasn’t worked out as well as expected but Dan Skelton’s mare is the one to beat in this granted normal improvement. On The Meter was just beaten when a 25/1 chance at Worcester in August but that form hasn’t been advertised either. Our Bubba was awarded a victory after finishing second in a maiden point in Ireland in May and Another Annie also has form between the flags. Knight Crusader pulled much too hard on his reappearance but should strip fitter today.
