Having already won a couple of point-to-points, PUMPED UP KICKS should do better over fences. She was placed twice over hurdles last year for Gordon Elliott so isn't without ability and may have been found a decent opportunity here. Lady Fingers won over timber at Towcester in May and is another to consider but Stitched in Time disappointed at Uttoxeter after finishing third at Kelso. Dotties Dilema is very lightly raced and, while preferring much softer ground and returning from a break, can't be ruled out in a race like this.
