Snow Blizzard, well backed when runner-up at Bangor on his first start for Rebecca Curtis, looks the best of those with previous experience and should take all the beating. But we are going to take a chance on hurdling newcomer ON TERMS, who has won five times on the Flat and comes here off the back of a victory over 2m at Folkestone in June. Brian Barr's mare has the potential to hold her own in better company than this. Dr Anubis should be all the better for his run at Worcester and may be best of the rest.
