TURKO lost nothing in defeat behind Bradley at Cheltenham last time, just getting outstayed up the hill. He has proved himself a decent hunter chaser this spring and can get back to winning ways here, though Keenan's Future was just starting to make ground when falling in that Cheltenham contest and would be a danger with a clear round. Templer doesn't seem the force of old but Silver Story is worth a second look as he showed plenty of spirit to hold on over 2m5f at Cheltenham and preferred to Massimo and Beau Traveller.
