Kissesforkatie landed the odds at Fontwell on her second start over fences but a couple of these made successful chasing debuts. Eureka Creek scored over a longer trip at Uttoxeter, with Fortunes Melody back in third, and has every chance but TWEED SKIRT produced a fluent display of jumping to win as she liked at Kempton and Nicky Henderson’s mare may edge this. Wynn House beat Peltwell over hurdles last month though never troubled the winner on her chasing bow.
