Malcolm Jefferson sent out the winner of this in 2013 but his Enchanted Garden has been a little disappointing over fences to date, being returned a losing favourite on his debut at Sedgefield and then only managing third at Hexham. He's now tried in blinkers but is conceding a lot of weight to DINO MITE (NAP). The useful Ainsi Fideles took this last year with his four-year-old allowance and Jamie Snowden's charge can follow suit having won three of his last four starts over hurdles last season. Amber Flush's second to River Maigue at Worcester reads well and she should be winning sooner rather than later.
