SEA PRIDE, a rare runner under National Hunt Rules for Sir Mark Prescott, can make it third-time lucky after being headed right on the line by Katie T at Newbury last time. Yes I Did won a point-to-point at Balinboola in January and should progress under Dan Skelton so rates the danger ahead of Fizzy Dancer, not disgraced on her debut behind the useful Lifeboat Mona at Warwick in November. Newcomer Rosie Revenue is a full sister to a winning chaser who won a bumper on her racecourse debut so is worth a second look.
