Triumvirate, a winner on the Flat in France, shaped as though a longer trip wouldn't come amiss when third at Catterick but is still one of the more likely winners of this. Fountains Blossom has been disappointing so far over timber, however, while fellow bumper winner Always Managing didn't show much at Doncaster last month. Pandorica was beaten in a claimer at Leicester last time so is also one to be wary of. GOLDRAY has been difficult to train and is already a nine-year-old but she would have given favourite Allez Encore plenty to think about at Bangor last month had she not blundered at the last and is taken to go one better here.
