Formscan - MULLENBEG showed good form in bumpers, winning a Listed event at Cheltenham in January before slightly disappointing in two starts subsequently, but if jumping with any fluency, then she looks the one to beat on her first start over hurdles. Autumn Return made a pleasing Rules debut when winning narrowly at Ayr in April and she could be the biggest danger ahead of Nifty Getaway, who will find this tougher under a penalty than her win last time.
