Formscan - A Grade 2 bumper winner at Aintree in April, DYSART ENOS sets the standard in this competitive affair and made quite the impression on her hurdles debut at Huntingdon last month. The weight received from some of her main rivals is a big plus and she can see off Wincanton scorer Meatloaf, as well as Kintail, who did it well over further at Warwick. Beat The Bat and Irish raider Soldante, who sports a tongue-tie for the first time, are entitled to be thereabouts as well.
