Jelski ran in the Champion Bumper but finished last. One Touch only beat one home in a Listed race at Cheltenham in November but both will appreciate this drop in grade. Financier was placed over course and distance in November but failed to build on that at Ffos Las. IS A REAL CHAMP was a beaten favourite in a maiden point in November but has since moved to Paul Nicholls and it will be a surprise if he doesn’t know what’s required here. Wye Aye has a nice pedigree and is worth noting for future reference.
