Twin Plan was having just her second start over fences when a close second to Fantastic Gold at Clonmel and with further progress likely she's definitely on the short-list. Winning point-to-pointer Clara More was making his debut over regulation fences when a close fourth to Hidden Diamond at Clonmel but that was over 2m4f and this may prove on the short side. Annie Other is a really progressive hurdler making her chasing debut. She's finished runner-up in a point-to-point so should have no problems with the fences and looks a big threat to MOUNT WELCOME, who is handed the vote. Paul Rothwell's charge, a recent winner over timber on fast ground, finished runner-up on his only start over fences here in January and can return to the bigger obstacles with his first success.
