Formscan - MRS GRIMLEY posted a creditable effort in defeat when runner-up at Southwell in November and, with the winner running well again since, this looks a good opportunity for the mare to gain a first success over hurdles. Manimole failed to build on her debut third at this course in October last time, but may put in an improved effort now returned to this venue. Helenn Clermont makes her Rules debut and is worth close inspection in the betting for new trainer Harry Derham.
