Coeur Blimey won a Listed bumper in 2015 and a handicap hurdle at Wincanton in December. He made no impression on only his second start on the Flat at Nottingham last month but this is a more realistic target. Ishallak is a half-brother to two winners and probably needed the experience at Windsor but will likely struggle to get the better of KING LUD (NAP). Fourth in the Wood Ditton at Newmarket, this longer trip is likely to see the latter improve on that initial effort.
