Not as competitive as the numbers suggest and Willie Mullins' thriving mare MAY CALL YOU BACK is fancied to bag a quick hat-trick back chasing. Down Royal scorer Splashing Out is next on the list with Battle of Ridgeway and Tell Us This also in the picture.

About The Selections
Andy Stephens
Big Stage He's been something of an underachiever but perhaps dropping to 2m with Jack Kennedy back aboard will work the oracle
Katie Midwinter
Banjaxed Put in a decent effort over hurdles last time and should be suited by return to chasing. His stamina capabilities should hold him to good stead over this trip in likely testing ground. Each-way

Race Hints
Specific Pace Hint: This could develop into a sprint for home, and Leave In Secret could be well placed to capitalise: Of the better-fancied horses, In The Trenches is most likely to be ridden furthest from the pace.
Individual Price Hint: In The Trenches traded at 10% or less of Betfair SP and 25% or less of Betfair SP on 2 of its last 5 starts.
