Donna's Double ran his best for some time at Kelso last time when a close second behind Lawgiver and he is given the vote to get the better of Young Scotton and Siena Star. The selection was quite useful on the Flat but has never been able to consistently translate that form to hurdles. However, he showed enough last time to suggest that his turn may be about to come and with conditions to suit and the booking of Tony Dobbin catching the eye he is given the vote. Young Scotton ran okay before unseating his rider last time, but the blinkers are left off today and as they have helped to bring about improvement in the past he may be best watched today. Siena Star is closely-matched with Dalriath on a recent run at Ludlow but the booking of AP McCoy catches the eye and he is worth noting in the market. However, Donna's Double is in good form and is taken to score.
