Placed in all four starts for this yard, the latest when runner-up to She's A Novelty last month; 7lb better off with that rival so ought to finish closer; often takes a keen hold and usually makes the running.

Ginger Du Val

J: Mr Ben Bromley

Fairly reliable yardstick who notched her first hurdle win at Newton Abbot in September (2m1f, good); bred to stay this longer trip (well held previous attempt) but will have to improve to win back in a handicap.

J: NON-RUNNER

T: Mel Rowley

Delivered on earlier hurdling promise when making all in Newton Abbot novice (2m1f, good) in September but was a shade disappointing on her latest outing and is not obviously well treated for this handicap return.

Her handicap form from last year puts her firmly in the argument and, although well beaten on latest start in March, there were excuses then; often makes the running.
