Lord Lescribaa just held off Legends Lass over C&D last month but was pulled up off a higher mark at Worcester subsequently and isn't the easiest of rides. Allerton proved difficult to win with over hurdles and now tries his luck over the larger obstacles and Royale Knight is 0-10 under Rules, though did win twice between the flags in the spring. HIMAYNA is still seeking a first success after 25 career starts but she had every chance when unseating her rider over hurdles at Hereford last time and is still unexposed over fences. She should start at decent odds here and gets a tentative vote. The Fox's Decree has proved most frustrating but Sendinpost could figure on his chasing bow and Lidjo De Rouge isn't without a chance either.
