LITHIC was running well when coming to grief in a Class 2 handicap at Aintree when last seen in action and can register a second victory over hurdles having won at Huntingdon on soft ground in March. Surprise Warwick winner Rebel Yeats can claim second on just her second outing for this trainer while Blue Comet, fourth on both of his hurdles starts so far can claim third on this occasion.
