Nicky Henderson complicates matters by saddling She Mite Bite and Yellow Dockets. The former, a winning point-to-pointer, made a promising start over the course and distance before falling at Leicester when in touch while the latter has shown potential in bumpers and makes her hurdling debut. La Fille Francaise ran very well in a handicap here in April before scoring easily at Southwell and is likely to have needed her comeback on the latter track in October. Copper Gone West easily won a point in Ireland last year and was returning from a very long break when runner-up to an odds-on chance at Fakenham earlier this month so should have come on enough to make her presence felt but PRINTING DOLLARS may be good enough. A successful point-to-pointer, she won a bumper on this track before finding Danse Idol just too strong on her hurdles bow at Wincanton and the winner was only just beaten in a Listed contest last week.
