Dubai Angel has won over hurdles around here and has wind surgery after being transferred to Richard Newland. Skiddaw Tara ended last season scoring over hurdles at Carlisle and was taking on more than he could chew on his chasing bow at Ayr where he didn't jump well. SCOTTISH ACCENT was having only his second start over fences when a close second over 2m5f at Sedgefield. He won't mind the longer trip and looks the one to beat though The Toojumpa ran her best race for some time at Southwell and looks a threat. Pauline Robson tries Ballydonagh Boy in blinkers as he tries this trip for the first time under Rules.
