Andy Vic won this last year under Joanne Brown and though in poor form at present is only 3lb higher. Kingdom Of Munster has gone 18 starts without winning over timber but did nothing wrong when runner-up to the prolific Cardholder at Doncaster and has to be on the shortlist. Avanos won a better race than this over timber at Market Rasen last summer and his two subsequent efforts have been over fences but Philip Kirby looks to have a better chance with STORMY MORNING. Harriet Bethell has been on board for the seven-year-old's last two victories, the latest on the Flat at Wolverhampton last month, and her mount is well enough handicapped to gain his second success over hurdles.
