Floral Bouquet made several errors on her chasing bow at Wincanton at the end of last year and has been confined to hurdles since. She is best watched after a break and Kentford Mallard has also been sidelined since successful over track and trip in May off a 6lb lower mark. Stream Lady looked a thorough stayer at Sedgefield and got outpaced back over 3m at Perth. CHEQUERED VIEW is dropped in trip and won over 2m5f at Fakenham last year. She’s only a pound higher now so gets a tentative vote as Zara Hope is hard to catch right.
