Prince Louis won off this mark over fences at Lingfield in February but his form over hurdles has left much to be desired in the past and there are probably better options here. Monroe Park's third at Uttoxeter eight days ago was his best effort to date and he should go close along with Sansili, who was only beaten a short-head off this mark at Market Rasen in January. But we are giving a final chance to Noel Chance's French import BABY CAR, who is already proven over this trip and is very well handicapped if consenting to put his best foot forward.
