Aneedh has found Master Red too good on his last couple of outings over hurdles and Rolling Maul makes more appeal on his third on good ground at Ffos Las earlier this month. SHE'S LATE disappointed at Newbury last time but had shown promise on her hurdling bow at Doncaster under A P McCoy. Reunited with the champion jockey for this, she gets the vote. Shrewd won four times on the Flat for Michael Bell and makes more appeal than Perennial, another having his first start over timber.
