The unraced Itsamysterytome is a half-sister to winning jumpers Mystery Drama and Mystery Code and it would be no surprise to see her in the firing-line. Skylark Lady had Stone Quercus well behind when making a winning hurdles debut at Hexham but now has a penalty. MILROW (NAP) is sure to have had plenty of schooling since last seen finishing third over 1m4f at Lingfield in February. This will be his first run on Turf but that shouldn't be a problem and his yard is in cracking form. G'day Aussie may be best of the rest.
