After a couple of solid efforts over timber, Bapaume should make a bold bid to get his chase career back on track but SPYGLASS HILL has been running well enough in decent company over the larger obstacles to suggest he’ll make a race of it, despite having a bit to find on official ratings. Minx Tiara found only the odds-on Scarlet And Dove in a Grade 2 mares’ novice event at Limerick last month and has obvious scope having only her third run over fences while Us And Them has the past form to figure.
