La Malmason (11/4), Malaita (4/1), Walk In Clover (6/1), Mad About Sally (8/1), Royale Margaux (9/1), Brianna Rose (9/1), Game On For Glory (10/1), Petticoat Lucy (11/1), I Am Gonna Be (14/1), Eureka Creek (16/1), Lilith (22/1), Pougne Aminta (25/1), Happy D'ex (200/1)

This looks very competitive, with several appealing candidates on show. MALAITA wasn't beaten far on ground that was probably slower than ideal at Warwick last time and she could take some catching back here (winner over hurdles on sole previous visit to this course) with underfoot conditions likely to be more favourable. Irish raider La Malmason looks a big threat on her handicap debut in this sphere, while Royale Margaux and Walk In Clover are others to consider, along with I Am Gonna Be.
