Blue Rambler is potentially well treated back over hurdles but hasn’t been running well on the Flat. It’s no surprise to see Graceful Legend back over timber as she hasn’t taken to fences. Blinkers could rekindle enthusiasm but Tara View is best watched at present and the handicapper may have reeled in Wemyss Point. Ballyboker Breeze is 5lb lower than over fences but may be in need of a confidence-booster. Commodore Barry is in fine form but was beaten off a lower mark in October and Canton Prince never threatened at Cheltenham when last seen. ENNISCOFFEY OSCAR is two from two here with one of those victories coming in a Grade 2. Back over hurdles, he could outclass these if back on song.
