Connections of WILLYEGOLASSIEGO (NAP) will be praying that any showers by-pass the track as their mare needs rattling fast ground. She’s gone up 4lb since her second at Fontwell but is in good form and a first victory over timber is overdue. Miss Fleming has yet to place over hurdles so looks to have plenty of weight but Midnight Gypsy won at Hereford last year and is sure to have benefited from last month’s run at Stratford. Roja Dove has been showing signs of a revival and looks the pick of the remainder.
