Course bumper winner AUDACIOUS ANNIE was a promising third in a warm maiden hurdle at Ayr in January and her useful pedigree suggests she'll be suited by the step up in trip. She earns the vote ahead of Rose's Dart, for whom the extra yardage could also be a positive. C&D third Parisian Fashion can give another good account, while point winner Forcetoreckonwith is an interesting rules newcomer.[Ben Hutton]

Course bumper winner (soft) who was third at Ayr (2m, soft) in January on her second hurdle start and that form has worked out well; her attractive pedigree suggests she'll be suited by this longer trip and she holds leading claims provided the better ground isn't an issue.
Some good runs in defeat among her six starts in Irish mares' maiden points (3m, soft/heavy); sold for £7,000 last May; has joined a respected trainer for her rules career and she's not discounted.
Bumped into last week's Cheltenham Festival winner Air Of Entitlement when second on debut in Irish maiden point (3m, yielding to soft) in December 2023, and won by 8l last October (3m, yielding); bought for £30,000 in November; interesting rules newcomer for good yard, especially if backed.
Point runner-up (2m4f, good) who went very close on rules debut at Ayr (2m4f, soft) in January; pulled up at Lingfield since but perhaps the heavy ground was too much; each-way contender if bouncing back.
Point winner (3m, good to yielding) whose hurdle debut at Haydock wasn't without promise and she built on that when third over this C&D (good to soft) in December; returns from a break and could be thereabouts.
Point winner and bumper runner-up who was a promising third on her hurdle debut at Wincanton in December; hasn't kicked on from that but she didn't see out 2m7f last time and has an each-way shout now back down in trip.
Won Irish mares' maiden point (3m, yielding to soft) in April 2023 and sold for £40,000 that May; 18-1 when pulled up on hurdle debut at Ludlow later that year and absent since; one of two for the stable and a market check is advised, but she has plenty to prove on belated second rules start.
Her dam is from a good family and she's shown ability in Irish maiden points this year (3m, good to yielding), but not enough to suggest this rules newcomer is the one to be on today.
Bumper runner-up (2m, good) who ran okay when sixth of seven at 11-2 on hurdle debut here (2m, soft) three weeks ago; could appreciate today's return to better ground and her pedigree suggests the step up in trip could be a plus for this 4yo; she's one to consider.
