Drom arrives in good shape having recently won between the flags but this looks a good opportunity for DOUBLE MEAD to add to his winning tally. Nine times a winner between the flags, he's also won five over regulation fences including a very easy victory at Wetherby last week. It will take a good effort to lower his colours but Miss Vivian is still a youngster in hunting terms and the dual point-to-point winner looks the one to shake up the selection.
