Verdict
Fair Breeze did a bit better behind Osmosia here last time but there doesn't appear any reason why she should reverse the form and the winner should get into the mix. TITCH STRIDER has now had 11 starts over hurdles without winning but has travelled well in her races on several occasions without quite getting there. AP McCoy takes over the reigns for the first time today and that should galvanise her into winning form. Illysantachristina has been running quite well from around this mark and her rider's claim will be a major bonus so she's on the short-list along with Star Potential, who was having only her fifth start over timber when a close fourth at Hereford on Wednesday.
