Bremen has some off-putting form figures preceding his name and we're going to try and get him beat again today with Capetonian taking to do the business for us although it would be no surprise to see Divers go well. Bremen has been expensive to follow thus far but has bumped into some useful horses along the way and will gain his due reward one day. He's never likely to be much of a price though and there are a couple of potentially useful sorts in this field. The selection failed to figure over fences on his debut for this yard but attracted support and has to be of interest on his French hurdles form as he finished second in a Listed race on his final start at Auteuil. Charlie Egerton has a decent strike rate here and the horse is still in three races at Cheltenham. Divers has twice made the frame in four starts over hurdles in France as well as winning over a mile six on the level. He hasn't got any fancy entries but must be respected if the market vibes are positive. Rock All also rates a mention but we'll take Capetonian to show his true colours.
