Maypole Lass finish six lengths ahead of Aminah at Aintree earlier this month but the latter was making her hurdling debut that day and may well reverse the placings. Colleen Bawn was placed four times in nine starts on the Flat in France but MORNING WITH IVAN looks the one to be on. She was only beaten a short-head on her hurdling debut at Catterick and won three times on the level in Ireland. Red Four, another winner on the Flat, could also be interesting.
