OSTRAVA DU BERLAIS (7) has looked transformed since going handicap chasing. The mare readily defied the penalty over fences at Taunton during December. Can complete the hat-trick. It is hard to ignore DUHALLOW TOMMY (6) who drops back in trip following a decent runner-up effort in a 2m4f Class Four handicap chase at Windsor last month. Previous course and distance scorer RATH GAUL HILL (5) won nicely at Ayr (2m1/2f) nine months ago and cannot be ruled out on his return. REAL STONE (1) would be of note if strong in the betting.
