Race preview
A bumper winner at Warwick, RULA BULA finished runner-up in a Listed bumper at Sandown in March. A bold bid looks on the cards if translating that ability to hurdling and she gets a confident vote. Zarhanya finished with a late flourish in a Cheltenham bumper on her debut in April and is another likely to improve now tackling hurdles for the first time, while point-to-point winner Natus Vincere is related to winning hurdlers in France and is respected.
