Ilovemints won a bumper at Bangor last year and has changed yards since. She makes her hurdling debut on her first start since April but WOOLSTONE ONE won over timber at Ffos Las last month. Richard Johnson stays loyal and Emma Lavelle’s charge is fancied to defy a penalty and go in again. Lostnfound made a modest start over timber at Market Rasen and Kapga De Lily is another newcomer to hurdling.
