The form of Social Realism's victory at Worcester has suffered a few knocks since and she looks vulnerable here under a penalty. Mrs Peachey may also be worth opposing in her hat-trick bid back in handicap company but she does hold plater Lillybrook on Towcester running last month. Exeter winner Emily's Flyer has shown progressive form and could figure but TOP TOTTI may be worth another try over this longer trip after her jumping let her down at Ludlow and she gets the nod.
