There may be more to come from Dundry, who gets the nod over Inchpast and Michabo, while support for the lightly weighted Stolen Hours will be interesting. The last named is unexposed at this trip on the Flat and could be the surprise package of the race. He has stayed farther over hurdles and is one to bear in mind if each-way prices are available about him. Michabo seems to like this time of year and arrives here after a good blow-out at Newmarket last month. He is a prime candidate to tow them along and it will be no surprise to see him have a little more in reserve this time around. Similar comments apply to Inchpast, who was doing all his best work near the finish on his reappearance. He had good form to his name last year and should be capable of getting competitive again here. Nevertheless, Dundry edges preference after his gutsy victory at York last month. The Garry Moore-trained four-year-old is adaptable regarding the ground and looks sure to give a good account of himself again tonight.
