All About Alfie is penalised for his Flat victories and, though he's shown some ability over hurdles, his jumping hasn't been up to scratch. CREDO STAR has shown potential in bumpers and it wouldn't take much for her to get involved here on her hurdling debut so she's handed the vote in a poor contest. Hunting Harry is bred to be a sprinter so it will be interesting to see how he performs on this quick ground but The Nutcracker has yet to reach a place in any of her 14 career starts including two over timber. Sinour might just have enough improvement in him to snatch a place.
