OSMOSIA has only won once over hurdles so far but she was just touched off over C&D off a 3lb higher mark in October last year and will be all the better for a pipe-opener at the track last month. Chris Gordon's mare gets a tentative vote though King Ozzy is usually thereabouts and Barton Stacey has started favourite in both starts over timber and makes his handicap debut here. Kambis won at Folkestone in January and came back to form when second at Newbury in March. He is only a pound higher here while a case can also be made for last month's Hereford winner Tallulah Mai and the unexposed I Know The Code.
