Hannah is 3rd qualifying seed in Lisbon. Poor form of her team not to have withdrawn from here when it's been known since before the withdrawal deadline she couldn't play here.

Looks like MDWC for Jodie Burrage , Holly Smart and two others.

Indianna Spink has probably been bumped up into the main draw

 Yes

Feistel is also in the quali draw here but still on the W50 accetpance list in Bulgaria 

And I think Ortenzi is playing in Lisbon but is defintiely still also on the W50 list

 I thought they'd probably give the wildcards to some youngsters but maybe not quite this young  

Emily Craven is an absolute slip of a girl, born in 2011

Tanishka Naveen is also born in 2011,

As is Leah Bush, and

Mila Angrave is even younger - born 2012

As is Dasha Jones

 As before, it's got to be Dani Britton, that's a given

And Lara Savic should have been in qualis too so may well be her

I didn't recognise quite a few names in the draw. They are certainly giving the youngsters a chance - since they have to be 14 to play senior tournaments.

When you say here I assume you are actually referring to Lisbon, not Birmingham as Feistel was never entered into Birmingham

 Yes - the 'here' was in relation to your first sentence where you were talking about Lisbon - my first bit addressing your first bit

 Mila won the J60 Loughborough singles final today - I don't know if her run there is what swayed the jury for her wildcard here or if that was already a gimme
