A chance is taken that OSCARA DARA retains most of his ability on his first start since 2013. He is much the best of these over hurdles and went close on his chasing bow at Plumpton. Amber Flush has the more recent form over fences with a second over track and trip last month while Garnock ran well for a long way on her chasing debut over these fences when Shantou Tiger was also well beaten. The remainder are harder to fancy.
