Todd goes well here and Avithos is well treated nowadays. First Assembly is 0-11 under Rules but has placed the last twice Wind surgery appears to have transformed MADERA MIST as she won a competitive mares’ chase at Cheltenham last month when racing from out of the handicap. She is effectively only 3lb higher back over hurdles and should take all the beating. Felton Bellevue has shown a modicum of ability and Midnight Mary may also have each-way claims.
