Time To Get Up goes chasing after just three runs over hurdles for Joseph O’Brien. Quoi De Neuf also makes his chasing bow but he ran in some hot handicaps over timber last season after finishing second on his reappearance at Chepstow and will enjoy today’s conditions. Canelo has already won over the larger obstacles but he finished 12 lengths behind a staying-on NORTHOFTHEWALL at Uttoxeter just over three weeks ago. Dan Skelton’s novice will know more today so gets the nod, though most of the others have some sort of chance in an open-looking contest.
