Not much hurdling form to go on here but Alan King’s Helnwein, placed in a point and successful in a bumper, should make a jumper. FORTUNE FOREVER found only one too good over course and distance on her hurdles bow. She finished ahead of Smurfette, one of three Dan Skelton runners in this, in a bumper here a year ago and probably warrants another chance. Uttoxeter fourth Nordic Tiger remains unexposed but Toonagh Warrior has switched stables his third in a Kilbeggan maiden. Commanding View may be best of the rest.
