Marada was trying to give 5lb to the improving Martello Sky at Market Rasen two weeks ago and she finished well clear of the others. A similar performance here would put her in the firing-line but PASVOLSKY has improved with each run and may well complete the hat-trick if allowed to dictate again. Hystery Bere was the outside of three when scoring at Fontwell and may need softer ground but Flat winner Oasis Prince showed some promise on his hurdling debut and Wireless Operator should do better now going jumping.
