Petrastar was returning from an absence when making a winning debut over hurdles at Huntingdon in March and is looking to defy a penalty in this. Archi's Affaire has undergone wind surgery since runner-up at Carlisle in February though was no match for the winner on that occasion and BLUESKYANDSUNSHINE has the more recent form. He left his moderate bumper form behind when a close-up second at Uttoxeter on his hurdling bow and Keith Dalgleish’s charge is taken to go one better with normal progress. Check My Pulse placed at the same Uttoxeter meeting as the selection while bumper winner She's A Rocca makes her hurdling debut along with Bowderek.
