TORNADE D'ESTRUVAL was biting off more than she could chew in a hot novice contest at Cheltenham last month but she should feel more at home here and a repeat of the form she showed at Uttoxeter in the summer would probably be good enough. Tatispout has her own ideas about the game and is unreliable while Reg's Ruby hasn't raced since finishing well beaten at Wincanton a year ago. Osmosia won over hurdles at Plumpton in September but she isn't as good over the larger obstacles.
