DOLORES DELIGHTFUL (NAP) ran better at Worcester last month than her finishing position suggests. She faded away in the closing stages of her chasing debut but should be sharper for this. A decent second over hurdles at Haydock, Wild Bill goes chasing for the first time as does dual hurdles winner Rouquine Sauvage, who shares ownership with the former. Bumper winner Globalisation is another chasing debutant but Fuzzy Logic has been placed over fences before and won a selling hurdle at Chepstow in September.
