Sulochana, a winner twice on the Flat, should improve on her hurdling debut at Huntingdon and this won’t take much winning. Sea Of Charm won over 1m2f on the all-weather and has placed on Turf but has switched stables since last seen. WALK IN THE STORM won a bumper just over a year ago and seems to be improving with experience over timber so gets the nod with Western Safire going jumping for the first time after a couple of runs in bumpers.
