Nafaayes ran a shocker at Kempton last time but had been in good form here before that and beat Argyle and Planetoid in an amateurs' race over track and trip last month. Tynecastle Park’s best form on the all-weather has been at Southwell and he won at the latter track back in August while hurdles winner Schindlers Ark last raced in the same month and has subsequently switched yards. TOP ROCK TALULA has placed over timber and opened her account on the Flat with a cosy success over 1m4f at Kempton last week. There should be more to come in this code and she’s taken to defy a penalty.
