YOUNEVERCALL won this in 2016 but has only had two subsequent starts, the latest at Perth in September when running very well. He's only seven and looks to have a touch of class so gets the vote. San Satiro completed a hat-trick of minor victories in April on fast going and reverts to hurdling after unseating his rider at Ludlow in May. Haul Away completed a four-timer in the summer before stepping up in class and finishing a good fourth at Aintree and he looks better than stable companion Laurium, who is a chaser. Potterman and Canyon City are lightly-raced types chasing hat-tricks while Dans Le Vent found 2m3f too short on his reappearance at Chepstow and this is more like his trip.
