In depth
Verdict
Trafficker was well beaten off this mark when last seen in July. Dream Flyer hasn't shown much in recent starts but winning pointer French Seventyfive won off this mark over hurdles at Southwell last week and Big Sound ran his best race for a while when only beaten half-a-length at Hexham. OUR CAT has won over 3m between the flags so should last home. Her jumping still leaves a bit to be desired but she handled these fences well enough 10 days ago and should be capable of defying a penalty.
