TIMEFORM VIEW Improved to land a pair of novice handicap hurdles around 2m earlier in the year. Good efforts in defeat last 2 starts and step up to 3m could see her return to winning ways.

PLAY SMARTER
TARAGRACE’s progress has stalled somewhat but there’s a good chance this longer trip could see her in a better light, so she gets the vote to return to winning ways. Liffeydale Dreamer is second choice under a 7lb penalty for Cartmel.
