Isaac Wonder has finished second in two of his four hurdle starts but hasn’t really threatened so far. Fransham showed improvement when runner-up in a handicap here last month but For Three failed to build on earlier runs when fifth at Musselburgh. Swordbill was entered yesterday at Warwick so we’ll take a chance on the fitness of WHAT’S THE SCOOP. The nine-year-old ran well for Sue Smith at Catterick last February following a similar break and would have more natural ability than most of these.
