MOLLY'S LAD (2) First up from a break of 31 weeks and caught the eye when 2nd beaten by 8L first up last preparation at Aintree. Always seems to find the line well. Hard to overlook. COTTON SOCKS (3) Ran 6th last start in a hurdle at Uttoxeter. Happy to forgive that run and promising career start. Has genuine claims in this race.

At $251.00 well beaten when 11th last run at Salisbury but facing a rise in trip. Does take a while to get into stride. Large claim helps. Not interested.

Odds of $34.00 and underperformed when 7th last start in a hurdle at Chepstow. Might be ridden for luck. Need a lot of luck to be close to winning this.
