Patty O'Farrell heads the ratings and was narrowly beaten three-quarters of a length last time, dropping in class and showing she retains strong form over this distance; the tongue-tie is applied for the first time but her consistency over hurdles stands her in good stead. Annie's Angel is the most obvious danger — unexposed at this trip and finishing well on her latest start; Cool Summer also holds claims if she can recapture earlier promise, and Highland Earl showed ability when landing a handicap a year ago, though his lengthy absence is a concern. Patty O'Farrell is our selection.
