Hurdles winner Reyamour was placed on the Flat in France before joining Alan King and could make a bold bid with underfoot conditions likely to be in his favour. Just When showed a little improvement on his comeback run at Windsor without ever threatening to win but this longer trip should suit both him and POETIC POWER. The latter attempted to make all on his return to action at Lingfield last time when fading close home and a third in soft ground at Nottingham last year suggests David Elsworth's charge can open his account in this. The remainder have plenty of improving to do if they're to figure judged on what they've shown so far.
