TIMEFORM VIEW Irish point winner who landed an Exeter maiden (21.6f) on second hurdles start. Third in a useful novice event at Ascot and needed a stiffer test when a well backed third on handicap debut at Wincanton (19.8f) last time. Leading claims back up in trip. TFRHHHHH BHA123

TIMEFORM VIEWWon twice at Fakenham this season and should’ve also won at Ludlow in January, outbattled after losing momentum with a scruffy jump at the last. Shaped as if amiss at Doncaster but got back on track when third in a race working out well at Sandown (19.8f) last time. Well respected. TFRHHHHI BHA119

TIMEFORM VIEW Out of a winning hurdler/chaser so no big surprise that she left her 3 bumper runs behind when third on her Taunton hurdle debut. Stepped up on that when second at Plumpton (20.5f), albeit in a thin race.

PLAY SMARTER
With this step back up in trip sure to suit, BALLYBLACK is taken to resume winning ways. Terresita ran well in race working out well at Sandown last time, so has to be considered a big threat.
