Formscan - The ex Willie Mullins-trained EL FABIENNE showed enough in her bumper days to suggest that she can play a hand in a race of this nature and, making her debut over flights for her in-form stable, she gets the tentative vote to land the spoils. Tintagel Queen finished behind two useful sorts when third on her hurdling debut over an extended 2m3f last season and she must enter calculations with that experience under her belt, while point-to-point winner Boombox Baby also merits respect, particularly if the market speaks favourably.
