Towcester bumper winner KAYLA finished well ahead of Little Dream and Brenda De Ronceray when runner-up on her hurdling debut at Worcester and, with her stable among the winners lately, can go one better here ahead of Tir Dubh. The latter would have claims on her best form but fell at Fontwell earlier this month and made mistakes when well beaten at Stratford next time. Sawwala, a maiden on the Flat, has shown little so far over timber.
