ENVOYE SPECIAL found only market rival Fumet D'oudairies too good in this last year. It is a slight concern that he is now 0-15 over fences under Rules but he is the form pick. Fan Club Aulmes is thrown in at the deep end on his debut over the larger obstacles but Rewritetherules should be thereabouts while Envious Editor should have the pace for this having placed over 2m over hurdles when trained in Ireland. Kostantina looks best of the rest.
