Verdict
KOUP DE KANON can make the most of his fitness advantage and follow-up last week's victory at Carlisle. He has a penalty to contend with here but was a ready winner last time and there should be more to come. Hi Dancer has been racing on the Flat without success since winning at Sedgefield in March and is 7lb higher on his return to hurdles, while Texas Holdem returns to action off a 5lb higher mark than when scoring at Carlisle earlier this year. Alpha One should do better this season, but Prince Of Denial may prefer some cut.
