Lady Shanawell placed on the Flat in June and won twice over hurdles last year but FOR THREE has already won twice around here and is back on a winning mark with Brian Hughes back in the saddle. Calvinist turned in a shocker last time at Sedgefield and is still seeking a first win over timber but Xpo Universel is a lot more consistent nowadays. Methodtothemadness could also figure having undergone a wind operation since last seen.
