LETS GO GIRLS is our confident selection with Barton Grey and Elzahann sought as suitable alternatives. This race is typically strong in numbers but weak in quality and Jimmy Moffatt's charge certainly possesses that. A useful sort in bumpers, she was far from disgraced when chasing home The Panama Kid on hurdling debut at Sedgefield. Barton Grey had shown ability at Bangor on debut though let down favourite backers at Haydock last month. Elzahann won a bumper at 100/1 on debut. She never troubled the judge on reappearance. Saddler's Supreme would be worthy of consideration on the basis of a ninth in a decent bumper at Punchestown. Don't Tell Louie has shown little of note though is watched in the market as her stable often do well in events of this nature. Aint She The Lady appears better with a little more give in the ground whilst One More Gypsy seems best of the rest. Lets Go Girls sets a stiff standard in a race where there is plenty of deadwood.
