  He is beautifully bred, and was an impressive maiden winner on debut for Aidan O’Brien. He also looked all class there, and I cannot let him go unbacked at 14-1.

  Dinoland

  The prevailing ground ought to suit this eight-year-old, who is one of the few who makes much appeal, and this has surely been his aim for some time.

  Haiti Couleurs

  He won over hurdles off a high mark on his seasonal return last year and, at his best, he is more than good enough to win this. There's also a chance he will secure a soft lead, and Paul Townend is booked.

  Kala Conti

  This mare looks the value, at the prices, especially with Koktail Divin conceding lots of weight to her.
