Verdict
Clemency was in the lead when falling a couple of hurdles from home at Warwick last month. Coco Des Champs has a shout on her second at Towcester in April and Rest And Be was beaten only a length at Newton Abbot in June and could also figure. Jazz Thyme also posted a better effort when fourth at Warwick and is another to consider but Jamie Snowden has sent out two of the last five winners and BELCANTO may well be good enough having won a bumper at Fontwell last month. She gets the nod to make a winning start over timber.
