Sierra Victor won at Hexham last time but the form may not amount to much. Forestside has won a point-to-point but is yet to manage a victory over fences under Rules while veteran Le Seychellois has two ways of running nowadays. This trip is unknown territory for Mr Duffy, though he clearly found 2m4f too sharp last time, and Peak Seasons is still 15lb higher than his last winning mark. MORE EQUITY is on a long losing run but thrown in on her best form and Dianne Sayer's mare may still have enough ability to outstay these.
