TIMEFORM VIEW Winner at Hereford (2m) last season and ran just about her best race when third of 10 in handicap hurdle (15/2) at Chepstow (2m, good to firm) on reappearance 19 days ago, staying on. Step back in trip won’t inconvenience her and she’s an obvious player TFRHHHHI BHA97

THE TIMEFORM VIEW DARTMOUTH ROSE confirmed her previous promise in handicaps when opening her account over C&D earlier in the month and is fancied to defy a small rise in the weights. Jackeline ran well on her reappearance at Chepstow and rates the main threat.
