Some nice prospects are scheduled to face the starter in this. Charlemar won over 1m4f in the French provinces in May, though the runner-up has done nothing for the form in two runs over hurdles in this country. Criq Rock ran in the Champion Bumper at Cheltenham in March but collateral form through the third that day suggests he may struggle to beat WILLOUGHBY COURT if both take to hurdles. Ben Pauling's charge wasn't beaten far in a Grade 2 bumper at Aintree in April, though has yet to encounter ground this quick. Exeter second Orchard Park is open to further improvement while Air Horse One should find a race in the months ahead, though possibly over further.
