This looks a good opportunity for the progressive WHYDAH GALLY to make a winning return. He looked really promising over hurdles bolting up at Wincanton before letting supporters down at Sandown. He was beaten when coming down and I just think that might have come too soon. He made no mistake when the money was down to get back on track at Fontwell on final start and in a small field again here under likely aggressive tactics they might not see which way he goes. He should have more to come now switched to fences so gets a confident vote. Brief Times has experience on side but didn’t find a great deal off the bridle when second at Uttoxeter last month and will need to better that. Dom Of Mary might be a greater danger if taking well to chasing.

This might not take a great deal of winning so Time Test filly NEVER NO TROUBLE looks worth chancing to open her account in this sphere. She reached a decent level on the Flat without winning and ran her best race to date over timber when third at Warwick last month. She was keen enough and hit the last so did well to get as close as she did. If she can get covered up here and produced late she might get her head in front. Cabayo Lady won at Worcester but an 8lb rise will ask more of her and is a bit offputting. Ramure was pulled up when last seen and has a bit to prove on return. Taylors Three Rock looks pretty limited and usually pulls her chance away and both Scarlet Ruby and Eaton Lady have shown very little and will likely be out the depth once more.
