Romance Dance won a maiden hurdle at Southwell well enough last time and has claims of following up here but that victory has seen her handicap mark rise by 13lbs and she may have to settle for minor honours with a better bet looking to be ELLEN TILLEY, who is preferred to Money Finder. The Roger Curtis-trained mare has yet to win a race but she has shown some promise and is open to improvement so she has to be considered. Mark Rimell's Dot's Delight ran much better in a novice hurdle at Towcester last month and she has every chance back in a handicap off what seems a fair mark, although she has struggled in this grade before. Solway Ally has been running to a consistent level of form and has claims but she may just be a shade high in the weights following her win at Ayr in March. Don McCain's Tastes Like More has disappointed since winning over fences in the mud at Towcester in February but cannot be discounted, although more so more solid claims are held by Ellen Tilley. Alan King's mare looks to be going the right way now like a lot of the yard's runners and she looks worth siding with on ground that suits.
