Rubytwo may well have won at Southwell in July had she not blundered at the last but Nicky Richards’ mare is now 0-11 over timber. C’EST LE BONHEUR was beaten when falling at the last at Perth having jumped poorly but that was his first run in almost two years and his jumping debut so better is expected here. Itsnotyouitsme has only finished out of the frame once so far and has place claims again while Nikgarde needed the experience at Hexham. Wee Goldie and points winner Franks Fancy may be best of the rest.
