JASMINE D'AIRY (2) missed the placings in a hurdle (3800m) at Warwick two back then improved to wind-up second in a maiden hurdle (4000m) at Musselburgh last time out. Ideally placed to return to form. REALTA LIATH (3) missed the frame two runs ago in a hurdle (4600m) at Market Rasen. Did a better job last time when she filled a minor placing in a maiden hurdle (3900m) at Wetherby. Cannot be left out. MARY'S FORTUNE (1) returned from a layoff last time out in a steeplechase (4200m) at Carlisle, finishing fifth when partnered by today's jockey Alan Johns. Will come on from that run and is worth considering. RIVER OF JOY (4) returns for new trainer today and is a more than capable jumper. Has ability and is a big watch first-up. Ideally placed to perform well.
