Templier could be an interesting runner despite having a first run on the Flat in two years. Betsalottie was second over 2m here last time but has the speed to be competitive over this trip. Vanity Vanity is only 2lb higher than when third over course and distance last month and Famous Dynasty was a winner on Turf here in August but LAZARUS is given the vote to carry across fair recent form over hurdles which included a victory at Huntingdon last month. He won at Chelmsford last winter and this longer trip should suit him nowadays.
