Formscan - Spitfire Girl (second) is 4lb better off with Flintara (winner) on their meeting at Uttoxeter in December and, though she needs to bounce back from a couple of lacklustre efforts, it would be no surprise were she to turn the tables. That said, a chance is taken on handicap debutant CAST'S TASHA. Ben Clarke's mare has run with promise over timber, having finished third at Exeter the last twice, and, raised markedly in trip, she could find the required improvement. Shesupincourt is another to consider.
