Graceful Descent ran her best race so far over hurdles over C&D in March and has to go on the short-list in a race that won't take much winning. ACROSS THE TWEED, third at huge odds at Perth last time, appears to have the better recent form however and gets the nod. Farm Pixie was beaten 35 lengths when third over 2m5f here last month, while Spider Palm hasn't shown much so far and All About and Sir Breezelan have been running in point-to-points without much success and are also best watched.
