      Verdict

      Deja Vue finished second in three of her four chase starts last season but PURE BLISS can make a winning start over the larger obstacles given she’s already won a point as well as three times over hurdles, most recently in a very competitive handicap at the Punchestown Festival. Galice Macalo also won three times over hurdles while Maskada’s recent form over timber stands up to scrutiny but this looks a stiff task for the four-year-old Talking About You.
