Athatir Mor could emerge as the main danger with the form of his latest Wetherby second having been well advertised, although last year’ s victor Onesoc and top-weight Imperial Bede also need considering

TIMEFORM VIEW It’s now 18 runs since her last win in 2023 but she comes here on the back of a very good second of 11 in handicap hurdle at Doncaster (19.4f, soft) 17 days ago Can go well again despite a 2lb weights rise TFR####! BHA93

THE TIMEFORM VIEW VOODOO ANGEL rates the pick of the weights on the back of her excellent recent C&D second so looks the way to go here Vanilla Dancer also arrives at the top of her game so should ensure Donald McCain’s mare doesn’t have things all her own way, while handicap debutante Adaay Dancing can also have a say.

THE TIMEFORM VIEW Last year’s victor HAARAR arrives in the form of his life so is fancied to defy a 7lb penalty for his most recent Carlisle victory and complete a hat-trick here Stuart Edmunds’ new recruit Comanche Magic went with promise when fourth at Fontwell last time though and rates a big danger, while handicap debutant Three Dons can also have a say. Demoiselle Kap and Klitschko complete the shortlist. TIMEFORM PREDICTION: 1.HAARAR 2.COMANCHE MAGIC (IRE) 3.THREE DONS (IRE)
