GIOVANNI CHANGE’s stamina really came to the fore when scoring at Wetherby last month and having been successful in this race 12 months ago, Mark Walford’s 11-y-o gets the nod to repeat the feat Fellow veteran Ladronne has been in good nick for most of this season, so he heads up the opposition back over the larger obstacles.

The Great British Bonus (GBB) incentivises and rewards with breeding, buying and racing of British-bred fillies by paying out bonuses of up to £100,000 per filly And now with GBBPlus to further incentivise staying fillies and chasing mares, there are more reasons than ever to breed, buy and race British.

This won’t take much winning and DIAMONDS GALORE can bounce back to form with victory She clearly wasn’t 100% at Kelso and probably would have scored at Ludlow prior to that but for a bad mistake late on. Chatty Girl is the obvious danger

JIMMY HURDSTROM continued a theme of gradual progression when third in a 21f handicap at Warwick last month and has to be considered the one to beat back in maiden company. Plains Drifter has already shown in his short careerthat he goes well at this track and is an obvious threat.

Tough to rule out any of the quintet, but CUBAN COURT has upped his game since being sent over the larger obstacles so Neil King’s 8-y-o gets the verdict to make it 4 wins from 5 starts in this discipline with further progress on the cards. Both Icare Colombe and Southoftheborder opened their account last time and they can chase the selection home in that order

Plenty to consider but JASMINE BLISS has looked a natural over fences this season and may still not have reached her limit after just 3 starts in this sphere. She’s preferred to All The Glory, who returns to a suitable level and is on a handy mark on the pick of her form. Likeable pair Molto Bene and Ruby Island should also be in the mix.
