Auenschutze won once in 17 starts over hurdles but had some very good form on fast ground and is with the right yard to make a chaser. Dashing Ruby has shown a bit of form over fences while Hot Or What has produced a couple of fair runs, though how she will cope with fast ground is uncertain. WIKAALA has won twice on the Flat and three times over hurdles and, though unsuccessful so far over fences, this could be his day as he wasn't beaten far at Bellewstown last week and has no problems with the going.
