Having won at Uttoxeter four weeks ago, Peur De Rien is already looking like making a better chaser than hurdler but WHO SHOT JR has surprisingly dropped 3lb for an encouraging run at Newton Abbot, when he looked short of full fitness, and he will also have more to offer. Minella Examiner enjoyed a decent first season over fences and Clondaw Rigger won off a higher mark two years ago. Trumps Benefit looks the pick of the remainder as Still Believing is hard to catch right nowadays.
