In depth
Verdict
Tekiblue de L'Orme is interesting as he won over hurdles at Carlisle last autumn following a lengthy absence so goes well fresh. Go To Court slips further down the ratings but Honourmission has yet to place in five starts over the larger obstacles. Millie The Minx has won over hurdles and on the Flat but is not really bred for chasing. LOVELY SCHTUFF was quickly left behind over a shorter trip last time at Kelso but jumped well when making all over track and trip before that and is fancied to add to that victory today.
