It’s difficult to make a decent case for many of these. Chankillo could figure back in this lower grade on his earlier third at Bangor while Cheltenam De Vaige was placed at Towcester recently but steps up in trip. Classico Dais made little impact on his handicap debut here, however, when BOHER LAD finished runner-up - the latter may well be good enough in this off his current mark. Lord Landen has done all his winning over fences so far but can revert to hurdling off a much lower mark.
