Andrew Turnell's MISS OVERDRIVE won with any amount in hand when successful at Ludlow in a novices' hurdle on her reappearance earlier this month and she can follow up under the penalty for that win with the main danger rated as Way Back When. Alan King's mare showed a decent level of form in bumpers prior to an encouraging first start over hurdles when a respectable second to Synthe Davis at Newton Abbot in May. Tim Vaughan's Clarach has the advantage of plenty more experience over timber but is becoming expensive to follow, while Brendan Powell's Naughty Naughty needs to improve on all known form to trouble the judge.
