Fly Du Charmil won over 2m here last month and should go well again but LADY KARINA gets another chance. She was upped in class at Cheltenham back in December but had won in this grade at Warwick before that and can race off the same mark with a conditional’s allowance taken into account. Tudors Treasure won on this card last year and was runner-up over these hurdles last month while Dark Invader posed a better effort at Leicester on his handicap debut and can also figure ahead of Sergeant Brody and Take Em Out.
