Though she hasn’t really fired in her last two starts, BRILLARE MEMENTO had an excellent strike-rate over hurdles and was rated higher than her two opponents. If she takes to fences, she could be a bit of value getting 6lb from Kupatana, who has failed to complete the last twice and could be in need of a confidence-booster. Little Miss Poet was second when Nicky Henderson’s mare unseated her rider at Wincanton on Boxing Day and will know more today.
