Shady Glen showed improved form at the beginning of the month on this track where he would have finished closer but for a last-fence blunder. He's on the short-list as is Newton Martini, who finished just behind though had every chance. Ofcoursewecan has won on fast going on the Flat but hasn't shown much over hurdles while Y A Bon was well beaten in a seller here last time. FLASHY STAR has never won in 26 career starts, half of them over timber. She's untested over this trip but produced a better effort over 2m6f at Wincanton last month and a chance is taken on her stamina lasting out.
