JELSKI makes most appeal in this on recent placed efforts at Carlisle and over today’s trip at Aintree last time behind the progressive Mossy Fen. That looks stronger form than Dublin Four’s fourth in heavy going at Sandown so he gets the vote. Pichelot may do better with a tongue-tie added for this while point-to-point winner Queen Of The Court makes her hurdling debut having been well beaten in bumpers. Harmattan and What'llbewillbe make their racecourse debuts but both are related to winners over fences.
