Khamsin Moor needs to improve his jumping to get involved while The Mighty Arc was also beaten a long way when third at Chepstow though Brian Hughes takes over the reins today having partnered Brayhill in a bumper at Wetherby last time. But SEVEN NO TRUMPS finished a bit closer at Wincanton last time and gets a tentative vote to improve further and come out best in a tricky opener. El Jefe finished strongly from a long way back at Catterick last time and Large Action is a newcomer bred for the Flat.
