PRICELESS ART won a bumper at Market Rasen in June and may have too much speed for Le Beau Bai, third in last year's Welsh National and runner-up over hurdles at Exeter last month. Scotsbrook Cloud ran up a hat-trick over timber before coming unstuck at Exeter on his latest start but is another that may find this trip on the sharp side. Go On Be A Lady won a Sedgefield bumper in 2008 but her career has been rather stop-start since and she's failed to add to that success. A place is probably the best she can hope for here as Dashing George has plenty of ability and hinted that a revival may not be far away over fences at Aintree last month.
