Formscan - AUBIS WALK filled the runner-up spot on her hurdling bow in April and the previous point-to-point winner ought to have learned from that experience, so should be ideally suited by this longer trip. Anti Bridgie won at Sedgefield last month but might struggle to concede 7lb to the selection, while Apple Away fought hard for a Bangor triumph and should find this easier than the Cheltenham assignment she was set subsequently.
