Dead Right never threatened last time at Doncaster and is now tried in cheekpieces. Frenchy Du Large and Neon Moon have been slow to come to hand this season but Le Cameleon won at Warwick in the autumn and both subsequent runs have come in higher grade races. If he lasts home, the top weight has as good a chance as any in a tricky little contest as MILAN BRIDGE clearly needs to up his game if he is to make a chaser. However, the latter is potentially well treated on his hurdles form so gets the nod.
