Verdict
Neither Crannaghmore Boy nor Tom Bach have offered much encouragement lately but a visor seemed to buck up Lucky Dancer's ideas at Ffos Las earlier this month, though whether they'll work the oracle a second time is open to conjecture. Canni Thinkaar has gone close a couple of times but is often let down by his jumping so this may rest between Douryna and CAN'T REMEMBER. The former wasn't disgraced off her new mark at Newbury after winning at Huntingdon but the latter may have been let in lightly on her return to the larger obstacles and has been in decent form over hurdles recently.
