No recent winning form on offer and check for any major market moves from more unexposed contenders. However, we'll stick with known form and row in with LADY DE VESCI at the head of the weights. She's only had five starts over hurdles, went close last time under today's pilot who claims an important 7lb and has some decent form on the Flat in her back catalogue. Hopefully, she'll maintain her improvement and go close. Presenting Cody had shown practically nothing until delivering massive improvement here last time and his chance is obvious if backing that up here. Zamond's best brings him into contention too and Champagne Izzy is a possible improver.
