BONTTAY is taken to enhance her already good strike-rate now stepping up to 2½m for the first time. The handicapper was able to get his teeth into Windtothelightning after Wetherby but she remains capable of better and is second choice ahead of Nurse Susan, who is entitled to strip fitter for her comeback run over fences and is well treated on her novice hurdle form of a couple of seasons back.
