The market will hopefully assist in finding the winner of this race but the tentative suggestion is SEREN CWMTUDU who returns to action with her yard in great form; she may need further in time and hasn't exactly shone in bumpers but she should, at least, appreciate the switch to jumping obstacles. Clarach was well backed on debut for Tim Vaughan and may yet deliver whilst Cailin Ceol and Ixora have plenty of experience to their names in Ireland and that could count for plenty in this heat. Reinriver and Dipity Doo Dah have both won bumpers and are respected accordingly whilst the fitting of cheekpieces may help Bachley Gale improve on the form she's shown over hurdles thus far.
