Jully Les Buxy possibly found 3m1f a shade too far at Plumpton last time having won over 2m4f at the same track earlier when ahead of Heluvagood and Breaking Ground. Stolberg was close up when falling in that race and has since got back to winning ways at Lingfield. GOODGIRLTERESA has only raced four times over hurdles, running her best race so far on her reappearance at Worcester. She’s had another break since but has the scope to go close in a race like this. Neetside is another with claims on her handicap debut and The Flame still has time on his side. A wind operation should have helped Timeforben, who also wears a tongue-tie on her return to action.
