Although she is nothing out of the ordinary and has to give weight away, BELLE LE GRAND is taken to follow up her Warwick win with the ex-Irish pointer First Ever and the Flat winner Bittalemon the pair most likely to fill the places.[Colin Russell]

Ex-Irish pointer/bumper mare; won a Fairyhouse bumper in October (2m, good) and followed up her hurdling debut third by winning at Warwick last time (2m, good; 2-5 shot); stiffer task with a penalty, but a contender.
0-12 over hurdles; not particularly consistent but has run well on occasions, notably when 2.75l second to a very easy winner over C&D last July (soft) and when 16.5l third of five at Market Rasen in March (good); each-way chance.
Dual AW Flat winner over 1m2f at Newcastle, latest success in March; well beaten at long odds in three runs over hurdles last season; looks more one for handicaps.
Ex-William Haggas; unexposed on the Flat, winning 1m4f handicap at Catterick in blinkers October on latest start (soft; RPR 77); bought for 28,000gns in December; interesting on hurdles debut with new headgear.
Well beaten for the Crisfords on only start on the Flat; 26l third in juvenile hurdles at Fontwell (2m1f, good to soft) and Sedgefield (2m1f, good) in October; needs to improve a bit but a possible.
