AMPLE APPEAL may just get the better of Lady Olwyn here. Paul Rothwell's charge was having his first start since narrowly defeated in a point at Kill when a decent third behind Under The Arch over this C&D in November and is the type to make further progress. Lady Olwyn won't give up without a fight with her mare's allowance, though she's been looking very one-paced and is vulnerable to something with a finishing kick. Bach Fire hails from a yard that can get one ready and is a half-brother to a couple of winning jumpers, while Flycorn is from the family of some useful chasers and is one to note for the future.
