Coup De Grace ran well over a slightly longer trip at Kempton last month and was then a close-up fifth on the Polytrack. Paddy Bradley's big claim is a plus and he has every chance of landing this but we just prefer HENRYVILLE. He wasn't far behind subsequent hurdles winner Dawn Commander in a jumpers' bumper last month and should be capable of going close in this grade. Auld Sthock and Saffron Prince have become expensive to follow and No No Bingo disappointed at Huntingdon after winning at Haydock but Sinbad The Sailor could go well if in the mood, though probably needs another half-mile.
