Super Baby alternates between hurdles and fences and though quite consistent is very one-paced. Patavium won twice on the Flat during the summer and ran reasonably well on his return to hurdling at Carlisle last month. Sambelucky won this a year ago from an 8lb lower mark and has been chasing. He'll make a bold bid to follow up but COOL BARANCA has been racing in better company of late and gets the vote under her competent rider. Amir Pasha loves it around here and has won on the Flat and over the C&D so is one to keep an eye on.
