TUDORS TREASURE was second off this mark over track and trip last season and, though considered best at Exeter, has a decent chance in a race like this. It’s a long time since Celma Des Bois showed any worthwhile form but Uttoxeter runner-up Destin D'Ajonc is a possibility and Diamond Brig won at that track in November. Ffos Las specialist Mouseinthehouse also goes on the shortlist but Carlisle winner Dragonfruit was disappointing upped in distance at Huntingdon.
