Jamie Codd has had another brilliant Cheltenham and Lady Of Elysium will benefit from his handling after showing promise in both starts to date. PONT AVAL has a similar profile and has looked in need of a stiffer test, which she should get in today's conditions. She's given the nod over Two Shoe Tom, whose form to date has been on quicker going than she'll face here though the four-year-old Papal Pearl made a very encouraging debut at Navan where she only weakened in the closing stages after travelling well.
