Formscan - Tropical Talent struggled on the Flat last time out but has been knocking on the door in this discipline and might show improved form now sporting first-time blinkers. Alba Crus was still there with every chance when he made a mistake and unseated his rider two out on chase debut at Worcester but, even so, MARY looks to be the one. She remains winless from seven starts over fences but showed a lot more at Sedgefield last time and Ian Williams' mare won a handicap hurdle here last year on good ground by six and a half lengths off 2lb higher.
