Annie Bonny, a winning point-to-pointer, hasn't shown much to date over hurdles and may need a stiffer test. LADY KYRIA, three times a winner on the Flat in France, makes her handicap debut over timber and today's softer ground will play to her strengths. She's handed the vote over Bazarov, who started odds-on when making her debut at Catterick for Archie Watson after transferring from Ireland but found the in-form Trapper Peak too strong. Winning bumper Rococo Style has disappointed so far over hurdles though she didn't run badly at Doncaster last time despite finishing last of five.
