Boy's On Tour is 6lb higher than when successful in this race last year. He’s still preferred to stablemate Fortunes Hiding and is weighted to reverse earlier running here with Imada but MONSIEUR CO (NAP) makes more appeal. The latter drops in class on his return to jumping having landed a double off similar marks last year and last month’s outing on the Flat at Ascot should have blown away any cobwebs. Chateau Robin is 7lb higher than when scoring at Ayr in October though has gone well fresh in the past.
