LOUD AND PROUD (1) has been going well. Got the job done in a steeplechase (5200m) at Doncaster two starts back then finished second last time, beaten 15 lengths, in a steeplechase (4800m) at Fakenham. This is a suitable assignment. Big chance. ANN D'ARABIE (4) has returned in good order this prep over the jumps. Placed when resuming in a steeplechase (5200m) at Doncaster then was again in the money last start, beaten a neck, in a steeplechase (5260m) at Sedgefield. Likely to be thereabouts. TIME WAS (3) was unplaced two back in a hurdle (4100m) at Newcastle then again missed out in a hurdle (4200m) at Kelso last time. No surprise to see her back in form. TIME FOR TEA (2) is a 12-start maiden who last appeared when fourth, beaten 33 lengths, in a hurdle (4110m) at Plumpton nearly four weeks ago. Struggling to break through but can feature if brings best form.
