Verdict

The handicapper has given a chance to both Sartorial Elegance and Albert D'olivate but the former is hard to catch right and the latter showed little reverting to hurdles in February. Kilmurvy hasn't run over hurdles since early in 2015 while Clondaw Bisto is still winless over timber. But Present Times made steady progress last season, winning at Towcester and Carlisle, and Trans Express is back on his favourite course after a fair fifth at Cheltenham. Midnight Request beat FORGETTHESMALLTALK by more than four lengths over track and trip last month but the latter is now 4lb better off and may have benefited more from the run. He can reverse placings today and land this.
