Legends Ryde was capable of decent form over hurdles when in the mood and she might have more scope than Whatsdastory. Eleanor Bob was clear when falling at Hereford in February on her fencing bow but LADY KK gets the nod given her pointing background having won over hurdles here in the spring. Lilith is another who should enjoy a switch to fences but Sister Raphael didn’t beat much at Newton Abbot last month.
