With Jonjo O'Neill's The Sister likely to be all the better for the run, her first in 75 days, and Researcher having a bit to prove following a disappointing display at Fakenham last time a chance is taken with Easibrook Jane. The selection was just about the pick of these over hurdles and, having fallen on her chase debut, the daughter of Alderbrook showed more promise at Folkestone last time. The seven-year-old has been given a break since then and, with the stable of Colin Tizzard in sparkling form at present, she looks worth a bet. Angel Delight has shown promise while a market move for Emerald Express would be of interest but Easibrook Jane is relatively unexposed over fences and is taken to continue the current good form of the Tizzard yard.
