Quousko De L'Isop began well but looks to have gone backwards and though Glitzy D'Ocala has some strong bumper form he hasn't been seen since last March. Rebecca Curtis does well with ex point-to-pointers so Milltown runner-up In The Post is definitely one to keep an eye on. Presence Felt looked as though he wanted a much stiffer test when a long way behind at Worcester but Social Overdrive and LOWER HOPE DANDY both won bumpers on their previous start and it's the latter, who hails from an in-form yard, who gets the vote to make a winning start over timber.
