Race preview
Four-time hurdles winner Skandiburg is the pick of these on official ratings but he didn't look a chasing natural in two previous attempts over fences and maybe isn't one to take a short price about. Fellow four-time hurdles winner YEAVERING BELLE is preferred after jumping well in the main when chasing home a promising Paul Nicholls hotpot over slightly shorter at Worcester last month, only giving way on the run-in. That experience should have brought her on and this looks an ideal opportunity with her handy mares' allowance. O'Grady's Boy isn't in the same class over hurdles but showed enough when second in a hunter chase over C&D to command some respect.
