Banrion Scairp, beaten a neck between the flags last May, will have come on for her run at Catterick on New Year's Day where she found the minimum trip too short. Winning bumper Tokaramore had little chance against two useful performers at Musselburgh but stayed on resolutely and should be suited by these more testing conditions. PINEAPPLE RUSH started off in a Cheltenham Listed bumper before outpaced over the minimum at Towcester. Her pedigree is all about jumping and staying so she's expected to show up well on her debut over timber and gets the vote. Winning bumper Lady Mix stays the trip and won't mind the conditions but Lostnfound had only two to beat at Uttoxeter in November. Expresstime was beaten a long way over fences at Kelso last month.
