Len Brennan had clearly gone over the top when finishing tailed off at Plumpton in April. Favori De Sivola seems to save his best for Wincanton and Galop Du Bosc has plenty to prove under Rules but Powerful Position won twice at Ffos Las and twice at Sedgefield last season. MANOTHEPEOPLE won twice over hurdles at the start of the year but chasing was always going to be his game and the winning pointer is not highly tried here.
