Brave Buck will likely be a short price in this having won by 11 lengths at Ffos Las last month. But he does carry a penalty and the runner-up did little for the form at Plumpton on Monday. FLORA LEA caused a huge surprise over 2m here in March but was making her hurdling debut that day and can only improve. She's bred to appreciate further so gets the nod with Robert Dunne taking off 3lb. Bangor second Jeanry is still 5lb higher than for his only victory in 2010 but Radical Impact is surely better than he's shown so far.
