Mia's Storm was highly tried over fences last season but is 16lb higher than when last successful over hurdles on her return from a break. Boreham Bill was well backed when making a promising reappearance at Worcester last month so will be fancied to recoup losses but we’ll take a chance on KAKI DE LA PREE. He is another better known as a chaser nowadays but he is not at all badly treated over timber at present and has a good record fresh. Ravensdale is lightly raced and making his handicap debut but needs to improve on his form to date and La Fille Francaise went up 10lb for winning at Southwell in May.
