Comment: Good-ground specialist who has excellent 8-27 strike-rate over fences, the latest win gained from off the pace at Worcester (2m4f, good) in May; still on a good mark after recent 4lb rise; likely contender again.

Comment: Dual 2m6f chase winner in Ireland last spring but returned from seven-month break with heavy defeat for new stable at Stratford (2m6f, good; had wind op soon afterwards) last month; might have needed that outing and may settle better in first-time hood here but others have much less to prove.

66/1

Comment: Has shown some hurdling ability for new stable this year and a recent defeat on her Flat handicap debut is not viewed too harshly but she's not the most obvious answer on this handicap hurdle debut.

Verdict: The pick is BALLYHIHO, who has a point to prove but is of strong interest if judged on her second to a big improver two runs ago.

Comment: Runner-up in four consecutive points this year; made low-key rules return/stable debut three weeks ago (2m4f) but will be suited by today's move back up in trip, and the refitted cheekpieces may also aid her cause.
