Verdict
Be Thankful has shown ability in both starts over hurdles and should be thereabouts in a modest handicap but it’s hard to get away from TIMASSINI, who was a ready winner under Izzy Williams at Ffos Las on heavy going. An 8lb rise is a slight worry but this is probably a weaker contest. Whispering Waters has run her best races at Newcastle but Plumpton third Kalaya could figure as she is less exposed than the likes of Missesgeejay and Getawaytonewbay.
