Recent winners Indian Citizen and Moscow In April are respected but may find life harder off their new marks and the former looks far more effective on ground with cut so may well find conditions a little too quick. The O'Neill team field a couple, with Chosen Dream the choice of the champion jockey despite being pulled up on two of his last four starts and finishing tailed off last time. In between he did manage a runner-up effort to Princely Hero over 3m2f at Newton Abbot but preference is for stablemate SWEET PRINCE. With only four hurdle starts to his name and an absence since November to overcome, he is not one for major stakes but gave the impression when last seen that he could progress with time. Ahead Ahead is a possible but it's very much a punting minefield.
