Scarlett O’halo has gone the closest of those with experience when third at Wetherby last month and faced a tough task in Listed company at Cheltenham last time. Doin’whatshelikes can only improve for Paul Nicholl’s yard while Jeans Genie has switched yards since fourth at Fontwell last year. Of the newcomers, Allavina is a half-sister to a bumper winner and preferred to stablemate Fivetotwelve, Cimetta and the French raider Dionette but a chance is taken on FLIBINIGHT. The latter is a full sister to the smart winning hurdler/chaser Getabird, who also won both starts in bumpers, and Nick Gifford’s charge gets a speculative vote.
