Ouh Jay was good value for her win at Hereford last month and has to be respected but she has yet to prove that she handles ground this testing and a safer option may be recent course winner Go Classic, who gets the vote ahead of Brousse En Feux. The last mentioned is hard to weigh up after just three runs in France and now makes her debut for trainer David Pipe off what could be a fair mark. Lady Roania is less exposed than most of these but may not want the ground this testing so looks best watched, while Alpha Juliet has been running consistently well of late but may again find at least one too good. Alina Rheinberg ran better here last time and is another to consider but preference is for Go Classic who was good value for her win here last month and is taken to follow up over today's slightly shorter trip.
