Providing their jumping proves up to scratch, this should chiefly concern bumpers winners Chilly Miss and KAYF WILLOW (NAP). The former has been in action on the Flat but hasn't been running very well and she's more exposed than Philip Hobbs' jumps-bred Exeter winner, who has travelled a long way for this. Keep To The Beat has had 22 runs on the Flat and over hurdles and has gone close on a few occasions but will probably find at least one too good again while Broadway Belle has been tailed off in both starts so far over timber. Longer trips might suit Hexham fourth My Escapade.
