There is a big question mark over Chepstow second Kyles Faith over this longer trip. RUSTY NAIL didn't show much on his reappearance but Nico De Boinville is back on board for the first time since Jimmy Frost's 10-year-old won at Newton Abbot in July of last year and he'll enjoy the going here so gets the nod. The Happy Warrior has won here over hurdles and is potentially well treated but he's been in terrible form lately along with Tresor De La Vie.
