Overawed is in good form and has a course and distance success to her name but failed to complete her three-timer off her new rating last time and has been left on an unchanged mark here. She remains of interest but faces useful types. Just A Thought has been running well at Chepstow this season over hurdles and has a definite claim if transferring that ability to fences, whilst HAUL US IN has had only a couple of fencing starts - both some time ago. However, she has returned to action over hurdles in good form after a major absence and has conditions to suit. Lamanver Odyssey doesn't appear straightforward but was better the last day and should contend.
