Larry made a winning reappearance over course and distance around this time last year and is only 3lb higher while Two For Gold won over track and trip in April. Eldorado Allen is dropped in class with Freddie Gingell taking off a very handy 7lb but FLEGMATIK is another with form at the track and, following wind surgery, would have every chance on his third in the Coral Trophy at Kempton earlier in the year. Unanswered Prayers still has time on his side but Beauport was disappointing after making a winning start over fences in Listed company at Carlisle a year ago. Monbeg Genius was third in the Ultima at Cheltenham in March, however, having rattled up a hat-trick earlier and Mucho Mas was also progressive last season.
