This is probably a bit more competitive than the first division as SHADDAII won at Huntingdon before finishing second to a subsequent winner at Chepstow. He has every chance of getting back on track and course and distance winner Hi Bronco is also interesting following a break. Ashkoun has only managed one place so far over hurdles in 10 attempts but that was here last time. Baldadash and Le Legro are eased in grade and are preferred to the mare Walk Of Gleams, though she has improved a little of late.
