Ayr Of Elegance has been quite lightly raced in recent years but did win at Newton Abbot last season. JESSICA RABBIT has run well fresh in the past so an absence since November is not necessarily a negative. She has her ground and this is her trip and she doesn’t look badly handicapped. Hello Bob will strip fitter for a run at Ffos Las and Lady Malarkey has been in good form at Worcester. Maroochi appears to be coming to hand but Branson Missouri has been raised 3lb for finishing second at Fontwell.
