DEFINITLEY LOVELY is chanced on her hurdling bow having shown ability in bumpers. With a nice run to blow away the cobwebs at Bangor last month, the selection should be cherry ripe today and this stoutly-bred individual should be at home at this testing track. Fiddlededee was well-fancied at Bangor last month and this point-to-point winner cost £125,000 at the Cheltenham sales in January. Instabella wasn't fancied on debut when winning at Cheltenham but received a nice word or two in a recent stable tour and along with Karinga Dream she commands plenty of respect. Line Freedom, with her trainer holding a profitable 25% strike-rate at the track, Ffos Las winner Ixora, the consistent Way Back When and the point-to-point winner Bunglasha Lady are others to consider in an open heat.
