Alan King runs two in this. Tom Cannon’s mount Whenhellbrokeloose looks the pick, ahead of hurdling newcomer Lzaaz, having found only one too good over this trip at Southwell. Norwegian Woods was also second last time, at Ffos Las, and should strip fitter today but Noel's Boy has been looking very one-paced in bumpers. The interesting one might be DOUNYAPOUR, who will have needed his run at Bangor and was then taking on some strong stayers on the Flat at Goodwood. He won three times on the level in France and clearly retains some ability.
