Better hurdler than chaser got off the mark over the larger obstacles at the 12th time of asking at Newton Abbot in August (2m5f). Goes on all ground and very experienced but rated 13lb lower than Who Dares Wins.
Former Flat and five-time hurdle winner made a winning start over fences in a weak contest at Taunton (2m½f, soft). This a considerably deeper contest but his impressive 31 per cent strike rate isn't something to ignore.
Northumberland Plate winner and Group One Prix Du Cadran fourth on the level last summer. Rated 151 over hurdles and only beaten ½L by Master Tommytucker on chase debut (that rival ran in Grade One next). Clear round should suffice here.
Yet to hit the frame in 10 starts, although the odd run has hinted at some ability and it is relatively early days. Looks out of her depth here.

Classy Flat and hurdles performer WHO DARES WINS split Master Tommytucker and Thomas Darby at Kempton and that form leaps off the page at this level. He ought to win with plenty in hand over Not Never who is preferred to exposed De Plotting Shed.
