FOUNDRY SQUARE has largely been holding his own in decent company under Rules and finished ahead of both Fort George and Theophrastus when third at Cheltenham last month. This looks his chance to grab a rare success as Cygnet fell on his only previous run over fences under Rules, though did win seven times over hurdles in his younger days. Terra Bleu was last of four on his latest start between the flags but wasn't beaten far and has won around here in the past.
