Malcolm Jefferson's CHILLY MISS can repel the Irish raiders in this. She won a couple of bumpers at Market Rasen last summer and has shown steady improvement over hurdles this year having tried her luck on the Flat in between. Miss Dinamic was second on her hurdling debut at Tramore having been placed frequently in bumpers. But she has no form on ground this fast while Bengali took a backward step at Down Royal after finishing third at Ffos Las. Irondale Express never figured when fourth at Southwell and may need further.
