Bobbisox is only modest while Definite Memories is probably best watched having her first run over fences following a lengthy absence, though has won between the flags. KENTFORD GREY LADY was the best of these over hurdles but appeared to lose confidence after making a mistake on her chasing bow at Exeter. She wasn't given a hard time and will have been well schooled since so can get off the mark here ahead of Ballinahow Star and Jean Fleming, other points winners who should be suited by the switch to fences.
