Three-times hurdles winner Riviera Sun has been well beaten in all four starts over fences but still has to carry top weight in this poor contest. PULLED MUSSEL looked a fine prospect after completing a hat-trick in a point-to-point, a bumper and a maiden hurdle after which he was highly tried. He never got to grips with regulation fences in three starts in March but has some scope and is taken to get back on track. Winning hunter Flynsini produced a couple of decent runs though over much longer trips but Charlotte's Chum appears to have gone backwards after a promising start. Galboystown Lady has struggled on this sort of ground and has never raced over a trip this short over fences and Hellofado has had 17 starts over fences without winning and is another untested in the conditions.
