Paul Nicholls and Harry Fry have both won this twice in the last seven years. The former is represented by Danse Idol, who was highly tried after winning her maiden here last December and easily landed the odds at Fontwell when last seen. The latter runs Outofthisworld, who wouldn’t be without a chance on her best form. But several have decent claims in this including the in-form Organdi and Litterale Ci, who won over fences last month but won’t be fazed by a switch back to hurdles. Deputy's Oscar is 2-2 this term but the handicapper may have reeled in Empreinte Reconce and this looks a big ask for Sixty's Belle. Midnightreferendum will also need to find some improvement and Aimee De Sivola was all out to land a maiden at Warwick. Taking jockeys’ claims into consideration, MISTY BLOOM is 16lb better off with Organdi than when third to that one at Ludlow and she should take her revenge.
