Flying Scotsman won twice on the Flat at this fixture in 2020 and though not quite hitting the heights over timber so far will be tuned up after a recent run on the Flat. His stablemate SAN SALVADOR might have won a Grade 3 novices' hurdle at Tipperary but for falling at the last and had a run on the level last week so he looks to have been aimed at this.
