SHOT BOII has been a revelation since tackling testing ground and keeps showing real battling qualities. He's up another 4lb for last month's Uttoxeter success but a four-timer looks on the cards. Prince Des Fichaux has yet to win in five starts but a mistake scuppered his chances at Fontwell and a better round would see him go close. Pageant Material took advantage of heavy ground to gain his second course victory earlier this month where he stayed on strongly over that 2m6f. The longer trip won't be a problem and he's a big threat. Navegaon Gate is still a maiden and has yet to prove he stays this far while Bucks Dream's form is on quicker ground.
