TOMORROW MYSTERY (NAP) should be up to winning a race like this, despite top weight. Useful on the Flat, she was bought by JP McManus to go hurdling and has been well backed in all three starts to date. Her latest second at Wincanton came in a higher grade and she could outclass these. Et Moi Alors may be improving but it’s been hard work while Magical Thomas, though a course and distance, returns from a break on a high enough mark. The Lincoln Lawyer placed twice in the autumn but hasn’t raced since pulling up at Fakenham in December.
