This is weaker than the previous division with WITCH FROM ROME getting a speculative vote on his earlier success over course and distance. Ballymilan never figured here last time having won at Southwell before that while Gerboise Borget has more scope than most over hurdles and can improve on her latest attempt at Uttoxeter. Dynali has won on the Flat this year though will need to step up on his previous attempts over timber back in this code.
