Abaya Du Mathan won at Ffos Las in the spring and may have benefited from recent wind surgery. Midnight Jewel has been in fine form over hurdles and Easkey Lad is also an interesting recruit to chasing. Princess Midnight has won her last two over course and distance and should make a bold bid for the hat-trick, despite a further 8lb rise, but ANIGHTINLAMBOURN is back over fences just a pound higher than when successful at Huntingdon in March so looks the one to side with as Gosuatri has turned in a couple of shockers since completing a double at Wincanton in April.
