Paris Protocol has been knocking on the door but is starting to creep up the weights again. Chartbreaker may struggle to confirm recent course and distance running with Medburn Cutler on worse terms but Windsor winner Sternrubin is respected as the step up to 2m won’t be a problem given he’s won four times over hurdles. LONDON PRIZE has also developed into a decent hurdler and is no slouch on the Flat either. He won at Newbury, beating Medburn Cutler, and Nottingham last year and is still relatively unexposed. Michael's Mount tries a new trip but has been placed over 1m6f.
