One to tread carefully in as most have a fair shout. Newtown Perry could prove popular on a first outing for Dan Skelton after leaving Jessica Harrington and the market is likely to reflect stable expectations. Kentford Mallard wins in her turn and two of her three hurdling victories have been achieved at this venue, including on her latest start just over a fortnight ago for which she's been upped a fairly harsh 7lb. Danzini is proving a most consistent type and should be in the shake-up once again, and Hana Collonges is interesting for Nicky Henderson as she's very lightly-raced and something presumably was wrong last time as she had scored neatly on her previous run. However, VIKING RUBY (NAP) has dropped to a really attractive mark and the extra 7lb claim of her rider could prove decisive.
