The chance is taken with Cee Cee Rider ahead of Win A Rose and Hello It's Me. The selection lost her way after a promising debut effort over obstacles but was in the process of running an improved race on her latest start only to fall three from home. That was her first attempt at three miles and she seemed to relish the stiffer test at Aintree which is no great surprise for a mare that has shown some of her best form at Towcester. Connections have taken their time with her and are sure to have given her plenty of schooling in order to bolster her confidence; she looks up to winning races from her current mark and has been found a suitable opportunity to open her account. Hello It's Me ran poorly over fences last time and has yet to prove that he's up to winning from his current mark but won't lack for assistance from the saddle, Low Delta has shown ability but has plenty to prove on his first run since leaving Ditcheat whist Shergill hasn't always looked the most resolute when push has come to shove and a visor replaces blinkers. Win A Rose has gone up by 12lbs for winning just the second race of her career and connections have wisely acquired the services of a 10lb claimer as there's nothing in her profile to suggest that she can defy her revised mark. Dayman's claim means that she should be competitive though and she's clearly in rude health but the selection is open to plenty of improvement and we expect her to find it; thus Cee Cee Rider is the pick.
