For Jim (6/4), Kayf Tiger (9/2), Am I Appropriate (7/1), Centreofexcellence (8/1), Cowslip (17/2), Helf (9/1), Time And Again (16/1), Robert De Bruce (20/1), Sundance Boy (25/1), Medieval Bishop (33/1)

A contest every bit as weak as Division 1, so a most disappointing mid-point of the Saturday action. This rates as an ideal opportunity for the likeable mare COWSLIP to record a sixth hurdles success. She's versatile in terms of both trip and ground, so drying conditions wouldn't hinder her chance in the slightest, and she's probably well-treated off a mark of 102 set against her seemingly moderate stablemate Robert De Bruce. Time And Again is a rather reluctant shout for the forecast.
