Sam Adamson looked to have the measure of River Trix when Pipe's horse fell two out here last time and is taken to follow up with Cyanara and Sunday Habits rated the main dangers. The last mentioned is a consistent performer but has had little respite from the handicapper so a bigger threat to the selection may come from Cyanara, who has faced a stiff task against two decent horses in non-handicap races in her last two starts. Point-to-point winner West Pal made a winning return to regulation fences when winning a maiden chase at Southwell earlier in the month is another worthy of a mention along with Ms Trude. However, Sam Adamson sets a fair standard and looks the one to be on.
