10/3
Useful hurdler in France who gained small-field victories over hurdles/fences at up to 20f for present yard in the autumn. Has remained in good form since, second over C&D last time. Ought to be in the shake-up off a 1 lb lower mark.

Forecasts

La Renommee (9/4), Walk In Clover (5/2), Fortunes Melody (10/3), Volkovka (9/2), Cotton End (17/2), Ingeborg Zilling (125/1)

Verdict

WALK IN CLOVER looked to take a step forward when runner-up over C&D last time and can go one better now reverting to handicap company off a handy-looking mark. La Renommee beat a few of these over C&D last month and is rated next best ahead of the consistent Fortunes Melody.
