FLORESSA (NAP) showed plenty of ability in two runs in bumpers last season and Nicky Henderson has found a nice opportunity for his four-year-old to make a winning start over timber. Aggy With It looks a similar type and may be the danger with Whiteoak Fleur having failed to live up to the promise of her hurdling debut at Kelso in two subsequent runs. Drumreagh wasn’t entirely disgraced at Uttoxeter, despite being hampered, but First Destination has had her problems so is best watched. Absolute Jaffa will need to settle better than when second at Market Rasen, though the winner has scored again since.
