Fantastic Lady
Very useful mare who was successful in this race two years ago (good to soft) and posted a career-best performance in Grade 2 at Sandown (2m6f, good) on last appearance; commands respect, even though she's conceding weight all round.

Apple Away
Bagged a similar event at Perth (3m, soft) in April and should be back in top form with Kelso reappearance under her belt; this second-season chaser, who won Grade 1 novice as a hurdler, is firmly in the mix.

Marsh Wren
Record of 12113 switched to fences last term, including Irish Listed win (2m6f, soft); seemed to run very well, improving nearly a stone, in Grade 2 at the Cheltenham Festival (2m4f, soft) on final outing; big player provided she backs up that form and stays this trip (second 3m attempt).

La Renommee
Has bits of Listed form; defied top weight in good-ground handicaps at Cheltenham (3m1f) and Ludlow (3m) in April/October; dismal effort last time but has the ability to be thereabouts if back on song.

Sacre Coeur
In-form handicapper who went down by only a neck at Kempton (2m4f, good) most recently, one week after her Plumpton win (3m1f, good); faces a stiffer assignment back up in class, however.

Sine Nomine
Productive mare who is 5-12 in points and 4-6 in hunter chases, most recently landing the big one at this year's Cheltenham Festival (3m2f, soft); progressive and is interesting switched to open company.
