Schism was always travelling well when making a winning start to her hurdles career at Leicester earlier this month. Jonjo O'Neill's filly will find it tougher against the boys under a penalty, however, while Tango De Juilley also carries extra for his victory at Clairfontaine in July and lacks a recent run. ARDLUI may be the one to beat therefore, having shaped nicely when third behind Urbain De Sivola and Ranjaan in a better contest over C&D last month. Wom is open to improvement and Flat winners Cathcart Castle and Uncle Dermot could prove the pick of the newcomers.
