Getaway Luv is the obvious starting point. Admirably consistent, she's tackling handicap company for the first time here but has enough weight. Pawpaw, a winner under both codes and a close second at Huntingdon on handicap debut, has trip and ground to suit and is tempting but if ISOLATE can recapture the level displayed when landing a couple of novice hurdles last autumn he could offer a shade of value. He's been highly tried since those wins and appeals back down to a mark of 122, dropped 4lb from his latest start in April. His stablemate Grisbi De Berce is also worth a second look.
