Latin Connection has done most of his running in Scotland but he was flattered by his proximity to Brave Beauty at Perth last time and may prefer more give in the ground. BANDRA BULLET is penalised for his bumper victory here in August but made a promising hurdles debut behind Resolute Bay over the C&D in May and looks the one to beat. Winning point-to-pointer Cliff Climber has done quite well in bumpers and this is more like his game.
