Naturally Blond is the only course and distance winner in the line-up but she's on a very long losing run. Hopefully hasn't shown much and is on the same mark as when beaten 42 lengths at Kilbeggan where she didn't jump well. THATBEATSBANAGHER has been raised to a mark of 117 over fences after scoring at Killarney. He's never reached a place in eight starts over timber but is on a 24lb lower mark so gets the vote. Galuppi has a career strike-rate of 1-60 and that victory came at Fakenham in 2015. Deauville Society hasn't been running badly on the Flat and, though still a maiden over hurdles, has performed well around here and could snatch a place.
