Brinestine was only beaten a couple of lengths when third at Wincanton last time and warrants respect here with Harrison Beswick again taking off 5lb. Miss Fortywinks was knocking on the door around here last summer but is 6lb higher on her first run since August. Destiny's Gold still has time on his side while Faith Jicaro won off this mark over fences at Plumpton last week so can't be ignored. SUNBLAZER has only managed one place in five previous runs over hurdles but has been in terrific form on the all-weather this spring. He looks fairly treated in this and can finally come good under NH Rules.
