SPINNING WATERS won this last year and followed-up on the track a couple of weeks later. He also won over hurdles here in March and can continue his successful streak from what looks a fair mark. Princesse Fleur is just 1lb higher than when beaten narrowly over the C&D last July while Tae Kwon Do scored over hurdles and fences last summer and reappeared after a long absence with a decent effort on Polytrack at Lingfield. Paul Rich runs two and Sainglend looks easily the best of the pair as he's been in fine form over hurdles recently, scoring at Stratford before a fine run in a big field at Aintree. The lightly-raced Josie's Dream has never been further than 1m4f.
