Dipity Doo Dah has yet to add to his one career success achieved in a bumper back in 2010 but must surely go close to doing so in what looks a weak handicap hurdle. Unfortunately, his general consistency is punctured by the occasional really bad run as was the case last time and he remains a risky proposition. Moon Melody goes well here but has been absent for one day shy of 300 days and the 12-year-old is likely to need the outing. Temple Lord is becoming hard to win with over fences and is well worth a shot going back over timber but LILLY'S LEGEND is the choice. She remains open to improvement at her age and has run her two best races over this sort of trip. Beaten last time over 2m4f, it comes as no surprise to see Mark Walford step her back up to what seems her optimum trip.
