FOXTROT JULIET will likely prove a warm order for this having found only Another Theatre too good here four days ago. She led to the last obstacle on that occasion and has Fergus Gregory’s 5lb allowance helping her cause today. Ilaya ran well on her earlier hurdling bow in France but faded badly in the closing stages of her debut for Micky Hammond’s yard while Goffsbridge Girl has undergone wind surgery since November’s modest effort at Musselburgh. Stablemate See The Sea won three times on the Flat for Richard Hannon and is preferred to Katabatika of those hurdling for the first time.
