Just about the best of these over hurdles, Eva So Charming looks to have been found a suitable opportunity to win his second race over fences and is taken to score at the main expense of All In The Stars and Easibrook Jane. The last mentioned had some respectable form over hurdles and is interesting making her debut over fences at this level. She makes more appeal than the reappearing Lynrick Lady, who would need to step up on hurdles form to take a hand. Bak To Bill gained a well-deserved success when landing a novices' event at Uttoxeter earlier this month but this looks tougher and a bigger threat may come from All In The Stars. Paul Keane's horses are beginning to find their form now and the six-year-old opened his account when beating Eva So Charming by a length-and-a-half at Plumpton earlier this month. Henrietta Knight's gelding is now 4lbs better off with his conqueror that day and is taken to reverse earlier form.
