Beyondtemptation made all and kept on well at Newcastle last month and similar tactics will probably be employed here. She's 7lb higher but Diarmuid O'Regan's claim takes care of that. Glenconkeyne was beaten in a seller at Leicester last time but Love Marmalade could go well on his first start over hurdles since March of last year and Pixie Cut showed a bit more last time, though was behind Beyondtemptation at Sedgefield earlier. SCIMON TEMPLAR (NAP) won off today's mark over fences last month and is fancied to open his account over the smaller obstacles today if reproducing that effort.
