ELEVEN FIFTY NINE, who won a Listed bumper at Aintree last April, has been far from disgraced in a couple of runs over hurdles this season in decent company. She is likely to be a short price here to open her account over timber but is impossible to oppose. Ussee wasn't beaten far at Bangor on her hurdles bow and could be the one for forecast-backers as Amber Cloud was beaten a long way when second over 2m4f at Newcastle and St Gregory, third in a bumper at Carlisle on her racecourse debut, may need more time. Newcomer Katnapping has a nice pedigree and could make the frame if she's fully wound-up.
