EPATANTE left the impression that the easing ground blunted her speed when dead-heating for first with Not So Sleepy in the Fighting Fifth at Newcastle last month, so she's very much the one to beat back under more suitable conditions. Last season's Betfair Hurdle winner Soaring Glory retains potential having not been seen to best effect in a small field at Newbury last time.
