Paul Nicholls has trained the last two winners and SHE'S DA ONE can bring up the hat-trick. She is penalised for earlier wins at Taunton and then at this track at the start of the month but still has plenty in hand on Thats My Rabbit. But the latter ran well for second at Southwell last month and looks the main danger to the selection as the remainder have shown little to write home about so far and are hard to fancy.
