GREAT OCEAN will almost certainly improve on his second at Southwell and is just preferred to Horn Cape, who has decent bumper form and will know what’s required. Gris Gris Top has already placed twice at Ffos Las and Lac De Constance is worth a market check. Bold Conduct will have needed the run here last month and could prove the pick of the remainder though Keplerian has a cracking pedigree for jumping being a half-brother to five winners.
