Tornade D'Estruval looked beaten when falling on her chasing debut at Warwick in November and has been struggling to get home over hurdles. She looks worth opposing here as several of these have already shown decent form over the larger obstacles. Henrietta Knight hasn't had many winners this season but SILVER ROQUE was one of them, landing a maiden chase at Folkestone in January. His only poor run over fences came on very soft ground at Hereford next time and the six-year-old may be the one to beat here. Present To You often attracts market support but generally finds at least one too good and Unforgettable is also struggling to get his head in front. Tahiti Pearl needs to improve to figure but Clowance House should prove better than he showed at Towcester last month.
