JEREMYS FLAME, runner-up in the Tolworth Hurdle last year, failed to finish in three of four starts over fences though finished lame in the latest. Her third behind Mount Ida in a Cork Grade 3 would be good enough for this providing she gets round. The four-year-old Riviere D'etel looks the one to take advantage if the selection fails again as she has a very strong chasing pedigree and was placed in Listed company over timber at Auteuil before an easy victory at Punchestown. Highstreet Roller won between the flags and has also landed a bumper and a maiden hurdle but like the remainder will need to show major improvement on her form to date.
