Yauthym had just been headed when falling at the last at Southwell but she should be thereabouts again with a clear round. OASIS PRINCE showed some promise at Market Rasen and was then fourth at Huntingdon. This sharp track should suit the four-times Flat winner and Corey McGivern takes off a very handy 10lb. Olympic Conqueror won on the Flat and has placed at Ludlow so will be fancied to make it third-time lucky over hurdles but winning pointer Supreme Yeats got outpaced when favourite for a Musselburgh bumper. Touchthesoul finished second around here early last year but is a little exposed.
