The ex-French 4yo MISS ALTEA BLUE posted a smooth win at Wincanton recently on her second start for Paul Nicholls and is taken to follow up. Timetoshine is a big danger for Nicky Henderson, however, having impressed on last month's hurdle debut at Huntingdon. Anariza could also be in the shake-up.[Ben Hutton]

Useful on the Flat and, despite drifting in the betting and occasionally jumping to the left, she won with something to spare on last month's hurdle debut at Huntingdon (2m, good to soft); leading claims under penalty.
Point-to-point bumper winner (2m, soft) who returned from some time off with a promising third on hurdle debut at Wetherby (2m, soft) last month; open to improvement and could be involved.
4yo who tapped back into the promise shown in France last year with ready win at Wincanton (1m7f, good to soft) nine days ago on her second stable start; this useful prospect is a strong contender under a 7lb penalty.
Useful Flat pedigree but modest form in three runs in that code for William Haggas and soundly beaten at 11-1 on last month's hurdle and stable debut at Hereford (2m, good to soft); considerable improvement is needed.
4yo who faced tough Listed task on hurdle debut at Doncaster (2m, good to soft) in January, when well beaten at 150-1; her Flat win came at an ordinary level; others are more compelling.
