Bollin Dolly started jumping hurdles late in life but easily won a seller at Cartmel on her debut and may still be capable of holding her own in better company. Anitopia won a Kelso bumper last year but has been well beaten in both starts over timber so far while Beef To The Heels has lost the plot lately and would need a return to his best to figure. Market Rasen winner Lillioftheballet is improving, however, while Rain Mac won twice on the Flat for John Gosden and is likely to prove a lot better than he showed at Doncaster in March but IFANDBUTWHYNOT catches the eye today. A decent bumper horse last season, he'll be expected to hold his own over timber this term and is started off at a realistic level.
