Winning hurdler Lily Little Legs pulled up on her only start over fences when the ground was testing so she wouldn't want any more rain. Makadamia has a similar profile and pulled up after making mistakes on her chasing bow at Ludlow but Black Lily, a three-times a winner between the flags, has her first start over regulation fences after a couple of runs over timber and is expected to do better. Iconic Rose landed a handicap over hurdles at Catterick in December but has been well beaten in both starts to date over the bigger obstacles. THE FLAMING MATRON has been left on the same mark after chasing home Beau Dandy at Musselburgh last month. The winner has won again since so the nine-year-old looks well enough handicapped to go one better, especially with her rider's claim to aid her cause.
