A number of these are returning from a break including Schnabel, Cheltenam De Vaige, Bishop Of Bling, Third Estate and Cheer's Delboy. PYRIOS showed a bit more at Wincanton in February, finishing ahead of a subsequent winner when fourth last time. He’s probably a bit better than his bare form suggests and a mark of 107 on his handicap debut could be lenient. Zoltan Varga attracted market support at Taunton earlier this month while Pershing Missile should strip fitter for his second at Hereford. Eau De Nile remains unexposed over hurdles but may need more time.
