The extreme hold-up tactics often used on this one worked perfectly last time at Market Rasen (23.9f) getting up late on. That scenario needs to unfurl again for her to follow-up off a 5lb higher mark (career-high) but not out of this.
Yet to quite match his hurdles form over the larger obstacles but hasn't been disgraced in this sphere off similar marks to today for his former yard. Returns from a fair absence for a new yard, potentially well handicapped on his hurdles form.
Veteran chaser whose best days now look behind him failing to make much of an impact at Southwell (24.3f) last time off a 3lb higher mark. Hard to see him making much progress even though he may have needed the run last time, others appeal more.
Improved over hurdles when stepped up to 3m+ last year winning back-to-back handicaps at Warwick and Fontwell staying on well both times. Caught the eye on chasing debut (easy to back) at Bangor (17.4f), open to progress up in trip this time.
Penny dropped over fences on his third start when winning at Worcester (20f, showed plenty for pressure) off a 3lb lower mark. Stepped up on his reappearance when last seen taking second at Bangor (20.3f), stable still appear in rather a lull.
Winner in Irish point-to-points his form for Micky Hammond over hurdles was no more than modest and she's yet to win under Rules. Offered something to work on for this yard when third at Bangor (3m) returning to fences last time off 2lb higher.
Appeared to benefit from a first try at this trip when getting back into the winning habit at Perth last month storming clear off an 11lb lower mark. Still in good heart last time back over hurdles (ran into well-handicapped sort), back over fences.
Point-to-point winner in Ireland, form over hurdles is modest and worse over fences making little impact so far in eight attempts. Has jumped poorly and looked rather lazy on occasions but overall he's disappointing and not one rely on.
Runner-up in three consecutive point-to-points last year but that form is weak and he's shown nothing under Rules as yet (pulled up last time). 50-1 on that occasions, 5lb out of the handicap he's not one to be committing to.

One or two interesting types in this 0-100 3m handicap chase with The Boola Bee looking to follow up her Market Resen win where her usually exaggerated waiting tactics paid off in fine style. She needs another similar scenario here to score again ad that’s not sure to happen so LUCK OF THE LEGION is taken to build on a promising run chasing debut stepped up to a trip that will suit her far better that the 2m1fshe ran over last time. Istimaar is another who has been in fine form of late mixing chases and hurdles, he returns to the former here and rates a serious threat judged on his Perth win. Schnabel for a new yard also deserves consideration having shown promise over fences before.
