Having shown promise on her first 2 starts, AUBISWALK was still going well when falling at Ayr 45 days ago She remains with plenty of potential and earns the vote to put that behind her and come out on top. Western Jill, a promising third on her hurdles debut at Southwell 2 weeks ago, looks a live threat, with Jamaicaine and It’s Maisy others worth a look
