SOURIYAN progressed from a debut fifth at Leicester to win a shade cosily at Exeter. He won on heavy going on the Flat in France so conditions here shouldn't be a problem and he can defy his penalty. Got The Nac had no chance in a Grade 2 at Haydock last time and was pulled up. But he'd won earlier on heavy ground at Lingfield so can chase home the selection. Filatore is thoroughly exposed and Curious Carlos makes his hurdling debut and has his first run since September.
