Formscan - Cinderello showed improved form to win, albeit narrowly, on her handicap debut, although she will need to go on from that off 4lb higher here. Barely Famous was second that day and meets the winner on 1lb better terms. She has consistency on her side, but so does HURST HILL. Seamus Mullins' mare gets on well with jockey Daniel Sansom, with a victory at Newton Abbot and a second here last month, and she may be the better suited to this trip.
