This is an unusually competitive bumper and so the tentative selection is Symbiosis, with Ameretto Rose and High Life just two of many dangers. Nigel Twiston-Davies has already introduced some decent talent in this sphere this season and Symbiosis is another that looks the part on paper. She is by Bien Bien out of a decent two mile hurdler and she will no doubt know what is required first time out. Ameretto Rose made a winning debut at Towcester, before being out-classed at Aintree. This is more her level and a big run can be expected. Alan King's High Life showed plenty of promise on her only outing last season and should put the experience to good use. Lady Roania is another to have shown promise and Jaffna is also worth a mention, however if there is stable confidence behind Symbiosis she may be worth a bet.
