Jennifer Juniper is form a yard that usually does well in races of this type but she ran poorly when favourite at Wetherby last month. Queens Cave is a half-sister to two winning jumpers and she changed hands for £175,000 after winning a Dromahane point-to-point last month. Connections will want to start collecting on the outlay sooner rather than later. Dinos Benefit has also won between the flags while Frizzle was hampered when making her debut at Lingfield and is better than that. MIDNIGHTREFERENDUM is by a top NH sire out of a prolific pointer. She should make a decent hurdler but could have the pace for this so gets the nod ahead of Cheltenham third and likely favourite Pineapple Rush.
