Verdict
TOULOUSE EXPRESS had a subsequent winner back in third when runner-up at Catterick last time. This looks less competitive and he can go one better at the chief expense of Kinkeel. The latter posted a better effort when second at Chepstow on his latest outing, while Jan Jandura can be given a chance on the best of his placed form notably at Ffos Las in November. Heather Glen has disappointed since her close-up second over hurdles at this track and makes her debut over fences today.
