Formscan  - Second, albeit well held behind Dysart Enos in the Grade 2 mares' bumper at Aintree last season, GOLDEN ACE was able to make an immediate impact when sent over hurdles here last month. Jeremy Scott's charge must shoulder a penalty, but that might not be enough to stop her with improvement on the cards. Four-time hurdles winner Manimole might not have the same potential that some of these do, but she merits respect at this level, while Linda Moon is the most appealing of the remainder.
