CLONDAW KAEMPFER didn’t make much impression first time around over fences and is approaching the veteran stage but the 10-year-old has more class than his three rivals and should win this if putting in a clear round. Miles To Milan won over hurdles in 2015 and was returning from a lengthy absence when fourth at Doncaster in January but Imperial Prince was still beaten more than 20 lengths when third at Perth last month. Daydream Island is 0-21 under Rules and would be a surprise winner.
