FormscanBy Tom Weekes - There are reasons for opposing ALLEGORIE DE VASSY but it is hoped she can return to her best. Ideally suited by testing conditions, she won two Grade 2s impressively and finished second at Cheltenham in March but disappointed subsequently at Fairyhouse and Punchestown when comfortably beaten by Instit, which now receives more weight. However, on best form, she has the beating of Instit on a line through her Cheltenham conqueror Impervious and it is also notable Paul Townend prefers her. Instit herself finished last season with a sixth-placing in a Listed Auteuil Hurdle, when beaten 3.25 lengths. Maskada won Cheltenham's Grand Annual Chase, has winning form on heavy and receives 10lb from the selection which gives her strong claims on ratings, despite stepping out of handicap company for the first time since a Grade 1-fourth placing in April 2022. Regina Dracones needs to improve while Hazelhatch Lady continues in her elusive blacktype quest.
