This is far from a strong event and despite carrying 11-12 SIMONE is handed a good chance to open her account over fences. She is a half-sister to the hurdle/chase winner Simonsig and there was plenty of promise in her chasing debut last month with this longer trip likely to suit. Dangers are rather thin on the ground although Lady London would have a chance off his mark if she could be persuaded to go through with her effort; she will at least be better going right-handed. Court Baloo would have a chance on his best hurdles form but he’s not an easy one to win with but does have form figures of 12 around here.
