GREYVAL should be all the better for her recent Market Rasen fourth so gets the nod at the chief expense of Strong Belle who is weighted to go well if back on song after a lay-off. Ip Up is also in the mix returned to this sphere.

Dual winner in juvenile hurdles in 2022/23 season, including a listed event at Doncaster. Largely creditable efforts since, including when off 5 months before a fading fourth of eight in 2m Market Rasen handicap three weeks ago. Player.

Verdict
Bagged 2m mares' maiden at Bangor in February but pulled up on her handicap debut at Kelso in May. Yard is going well so no surprise to see her bounce back here off a handy-looking mark.

Fairly useful maiden chaser in France for David Cottin but just respectable efforts at best for Clive Boultbee-Brooks here. Needs this yard switch to spark a resurgence.

Verdict
Winner at Market Rasen in June for Dan Skelton. Left that yard cheaply and well below par both runs for current yard at Stratford and Ludlow. Others appeal more.
