Bolister was runner-up over these hurdles in October and another course regular in Sir Hubert is usually thereabouts but has yet to win in 12 attempts over timber. Mount Shamsan has been placed in a couple of selling handicaps recently and is preferred to stablemate Sisania but a chance is taken on INTIFADAH. He was having his first start since November when finishing third at Fontwell last month, well ahead of the rest, and looks capable of going close again.
