GUILLAUME never threatened on soft ground last time having finished a decent fourth on faster going at Doncaster before that - he looks worth another chance. Saint Jaguen ran below par upped in distance over hurdles at Hereford and debuts over fences while Crews Pitch ran out of steam on his chasing bow and return to action and is fitted with additional headgear today. Berliet Express and Coeur Aimant have both gone close on good ground in the past.
