SINE NOMINE looked sure to win again jumping the last at Cheltenham but she wandered on the run-in and was caught close home. This sharper track should play to her strengths and she may be a bit of value against likely favourite Quintin's Man, who beat the subsequent Kelso winner Slievegar over 3m2f at Cheltenham and won over this longer trip at Trebudannon in April. Brave Starlight is having a first run for new connections this evening.
