INTENSE TANGO's jumping was a bit hit-and-miss on her debut at Aintree but she ran a terrific race to get within a length-and-a-quarter of previous winner Nyanza and a repeat of that effort here would suffice. Magic Magnolia is thoroughly exposed but has place claims again while Jazzy lady was second at Uttoxeter and Stratford in the summer, though had her limitations exposed last time at Perth. Saint Lucy can improve on a fair first run at Warwick and What A Scorcher is expected t prove the pick of the newcomers as she was placed on the Flat at Sandown and Bath earlier this year.
