Kapga De Lily became disappointing over hurdles but a switch to fences could rekindle her enthusiasm and she is potentially well treated. However, we’ll stick with the proven chase form of MISS ZIP, who handled heavy going well enough when completing a Sedgefield double and has been a reformed character since blinkers were fitted. Madera Mist needs forgiving a poor run at Market Rasen while Fakenham hurdles winner Massini’s Dream is making her debut over the larger obstacles under a welter burden and Arian’s best form has come over 2m.
