Ask Heather completed a hat-trick of victories between the flags before falling at the last when beaten over fences here two weeks ago. Bumper winner Jennys Grey is usually thereabouts though has been beaten several times off this sort of mark and PACK YOUR BAGS (NAP) looks to have been found a good opportunity to gain his first success over timber. He's now rated 107 over fences after comfortable victories here and at Down Royal so coming here on a 16lb lower mark looks a winning option. Oisin James was 12 lengths behind the selection over fences here two weeks ago but he's won three times over hurdles so should get closer. Northern Emperor has a career record of 0-28 while Loch Luatha is well held by the selection on latest running.
