Lord Brock will find it difficult to follow up his recent success under today's penalty but should still be in the firing line, however Lady Of Scarvagh is taken to land this event, with New Time also worthy of consideration. The selection has put in three decent displays in bumpers this season, the latest an excellent second behind a useful looking Nicky Henderson debutante. She looked in need of the run after a two month break and will strip much fitter this afternoon. Lord Brock took a modest Bangor event last time in good style and should still be open to improvement. New Line is from a top yard and showed very little on his debut at Worcester last season, but we can expect a better performance. The betting market may provide clues to the ability of the newcomers, but on this occasion we will stick with form and plump for Lady of Scarvagh.
