Formscan By Donal Murphy - The first three home in the Cheltenham equivalent all line-up again here, with DINOBLUE taken to uphold the form. Sweeping by the re-opposing Allegorie De Vassy on the run to the last at Prestbury Park, her task was made all the easier by the fall of her stable companion. The pair have now met three times, with the selection coming out on top on each occasion thus far. Second at Cheltenham and the winner of this race 12-months ago, it'll be interesting to see if first time cheekpieces can bring about some improvement in Brides Hill. Coming from well off the pace to finish an admirable seventh in the Irish National last week, Shecouldbeanything also warrants respect.
A steeplechase for five years old and upwards mares only that are EBF eligible
