Vanity Affair won three times on the Flat including on soft going. Gardener placed in a bumper in Ireland and will have had plenty of schooling at his new yard but Hidden Beauty may be in need of a confidence-booster. TWINJETS (NAP), unbeaten in points and bumpers, started odds-on for his hurdling debut at Cheltenham but never really looked like winning. This is far less competitive and he can recoup losses, though Cuthbert Dibble is bred for jumping and worth a market check.
