Formscan By John O'Riordan - A half-sister to two black type performers, the Nicky Henderson-trained Pretty Fortunate catches the eye. With the stable having run some smart bumper horses at this meeting over the years and, the booking of Declan Lavery catching the eye, she is given a speculative vote. Sent off favourite when third at Naas in January, Hartford shouldn't be far away. Previous experience is a huge advantage in these races and, trainer Gordon Elliott has a strong team of horses in this discipline at present. Navan second Bunker Buster is entitled to come on for that effort, while both Delamotte and Teofil are debutants that enter calculations.
