Favoured Nation won a Folkestone bumper 12 months ago but cut little ice in two runs over hurdles at the start of this year, though he still appears to be the stable choice ahead of newcomer All Systems Go. Those with previous experience over timber look a modest bunch and this may chiefly involve hurdling debutants PRINTMAKER and Tamira, with preference for the former, who won twice in Ireland on the Flat and looks just the type to do well over timber. Tamira is making her racecourse debut but is from a strong jumping family and isn't overfaced on her first start.
