Snippetydoodah is 12lb higher than when scoring over course and distance a year ago but won again at Plumpton on her latest start so she has to go on the short-list. Pretty Rose arrives off the back of a win at Huntingdon and is only 4lb higher while a case can also be made for Knightly Pleasure and Tricky Issue. DITES RIEN is having just her fourth start over timber and she showed improved form when teaming up with Noel Fehily in her first handicap at Market Rasen. Fehily rides again here and first victory may be on the cards.
