Verdict

A chase winner at this track last season and better than ever when second here on reappearance, BRIDGET MARY could be well-handicapped back over hurdles. Happy Returns presumably hasn't been the easiest to train but would be a danger if backing up her recent Fontwell second. Thursday's Lingfield winner Getaway With You has more on his plate under a penalty.

2	Both wins have come over fences (latterly at this track in April) but did shape with promise over hurdles last season. Better than ever when runner-up (clear of rest) in a 6-runner handicap chase here on return and makes plenty of appeal off 10 lb lower hurdles mark. 1st Pick 2 Bridget Mary (Ire) Jockey: Toby Mccain-Mitchell Trainer: Rebecca Curtis J: Toby Mccain-Mitchell T: Rebecca Curtis	98	-	-	-	36%	9/5

4	Maiden clearly hasn't been the easiest to train but ran one of her better races following an 8-month absence (took strong hold) when runner-up at Fontwell (25.8f, good to soft) 22 days ago. Likely to be in the mix if she can back that up. 2nd Pick 4 Happy Returns Jockey: Benjamin Macey Trainer: Neil Mulholland J: Benjamin Macey T: Neil Mulholland	97	-	-	-	20%	Scratched

5	Finally off the mark in a race that fell apart at Lingfield on Thursday, gradually coming clear. This is tougher back up in trip under a penalty. 3rd Pick 5 Getaway With You Jockey: Oscar Palmer Trainer: David Killahena & Graeme Mcpherson J: Oscar Palmer T: David Killahena & Graeme Mcpherson	100	-	-	-	19%	Scratched
