Flat trainer Hugo Palmer sent out last year's winner so Treble Strike and We Shall Return, both from yards better known for their exploits on the level, are worth a market check. Dan Skelton's filly Pretty Reckless is a half-sister to useful hurdler Heath Hunter and Electoral is a half-brother to two winners on the Flat. DUBAI OR NOT DUBAI is a full brother to a winner over 1m1f in Ireland and out of a dam that stayed 2m4f and won a Grade 3 over timber. He looks to have the ideal credentials to go close in a race like this.
