2.00 TOMORROW MYSTERY; 2.75 PLAYA BLANCA (IRE); 5.50 NEFF (GER); 10.00 COOLE WELL (IRE); GREEN OR BLACK (IRE); 11.00 AND BETTER OTHERS.
TOMORROW MYSTERY was beginning to get her act together over obstacles when last seen in this sphere, winning two on the bounce and impressing at Fontwell in May 2019. She returned from over 500 days off the track with an encouraging third on the Flat at Bath last month and could pick up from where she left off over hurdles, with handler Paul Nicholls in top form. Playa Blanca extended his winning run to four at Kelso on his reappearance last month and a 4lb rise might not be enough to stop him figuring here. Neff will find this easier than the Betfair Hurdle he contested over course and distance in February and is interesting following wind surgery, while Coole Well and Zamani are others with claims.
