FLOOD DEFENCE has yet to taste success from 9 starts over hurdles, but she appeared to benefit from stepping up to a similar trip to this when going close at Perth last month. The 7-y-o has since acquitted herself well on the Flat and she looks the most solid option here. Bestiarius resumes on a potentially handy mark and is feared most ahead of Veshenskaya.
