ILE DE JERSEY (2) missed the frame two back in a hurdle (4100m) at Cheltenham. Turned things around last time to greet the judge by a nose in a hurdle (4000m) at Aintree. Tough to stop again. MERMAIDS CAVE (1) is a reliable jumper in form. Clocked-in second last time out in a hurdle (5080m) at Cartmel after she scored in a hurdle (3900m) at Huntingdon the run prior. Major chance in this suitable contest. SOMESPRING SPECIAL (3) did a reasonable job when she finished second in a steeplechase (3300m) at Cheltenham two runs back. Franked that form when just 6 lengths away in second last time out in a steeplechase (4200m) at Newton Abbot. Leading contender again. ISABELLA BEE (4) returns from a 203-day spell. Concluded the last prep with a minor placing in a steeplechase (3200m) at Uttoxeter, beaten 17 lengths. Must be considered carefully.
