Already a winner between the flags, DEPUTY’S OSCAR (NAP) can shrug off an absence to make a winning start over fences as she did very well over hurdles last year, winning twice at Market Rasen and finding only one too good in a Class 3 handicap at Sandown on her final outing. Bit On The Side has already won twice over timber this season but sweated up badly before only finishing third last time at Newton Abbot. Jubilympics was only 1-18 over hurdles but is still preferred to July’s Cartmel winner Liffeydale Dreamer.
