Song Saa is on the upgrade but has a 12lb hike to contend with after her victory at Leicester last month. She should still confirm running with third-placed Timon's Tara while Kentford Myth fell at the first in the same race. BUTTERCUP got off the mark over fences with a six length success at Towcester recently. Venetia Williams’ mare has been raised a reasonable 5lb and is taken to show further progress in this. Arctic Lady has had just the three starts over hurdles and makes her chasing bow today.
