Dry Ol'party was most disappointing last time at Newton Abbot and is best watched until confirming that low-key performance was just a blip and LOLLI (NAP) looks more solid. Nicky Henderson's mare has been a beaten favourite on all three starts this season but there seems nothing ungenuine about her attitude and this rates a strong opportunity to finally nail a win to the board. Alottarain finished ahead of Dry Ol'party in that Newton Abbot contest but needs to improve again to trouble the selection but has each-way claims along with hurdling newcomer Midnight Gypsy, placed in bumpers here the last twice.
