Shumaker is bidding for a four-timer but his latest hike in the ratings may prove enough to thwart him now. Willie Mullins fires a quartet at the target and, in truth, none can be ruled out though Janidil and La Sorelita may be best. Curious Times is a potential improver while Hearts Are Trumps is very consistent but it is noteworthy that Nicky Henderson sends RATHHILL here. He was favourite for the Tolworth when last spotted and is just a third ever runner at this venue for the Seven Barrows chief. He may prove good enough to defy his opening handicap mark.
