Verdict
KAPITALISTE has matured since last seen over fences and has twice finished second over hurdles around here this year. Methusalar will have learned plenty from his fourth here a month ago and Faitque De L'Isle wasn’t beaten far at Newton Abbot last month. Bolintea won at Fakenham on New Year’s Day but then finished tailed off at Fontwell. Prince De Juilley didn’t win over hurdles but has won between the flags so should make a chaser with David Pipe’s recent acquisition, Thistlebuffs, among the least exposed.
