BELLE LE GRAND (1) made a winning return from a layoff last time out in a maiden hurdle (3200m) at Warwick, partnered by today's rider Harry Skelton. Strips fitter and is again a top chance. BITTALEMON (7) returns from a break under the care of a new trainer and making jumps debut. Has ability and should be wound up for this. Sure to be well-schooled and is going to be hard to beat. ANOTHER PEARL (2) returned from a spell last start with a modest fifth in a hurdle (3900m) at Bangor-On-Dee. Capable of much more this time. VIOLETA (6) has been hot and cold of late on the flat. Won two starts back at Newcastle All Weather over 2040m then didn't quite measure up last time, beaten 4.5 lengths over the same trip at Newcastle All Weather. Not to be taken lightly.
