This isn't much better than the previous division but MARIA FRANCESCA has been picked up from the UK on a very lowly mark by Gordon Elliott and could be one to follow over the coming weeks. Elegant Dan didn't take to fences last time but produced a couple of decent runs in maiden hurdles which put him in the frame. Winning bumper Derby De Thaix keeps changing yards but has bits and pieces of form that put him in the picture while Just Call Me has a course and distance victory to his credit though that was in 2017. Karl Thornton has had a couple of winners in recent days so don't be surprised by a better run from Lord Lariat.
