Flat winner Dancing Harry didn’t impress on his hurdles bow at Stratford while Time Flies By has become expensive to follow, though has probably placed in stronger company. Forest Jump was progressive in bumpers last season but ICARE GRANDCHAMP (NAP) was quite highly tried in a couple of runs in France last term and Gary Moore tries him in headgear on his UK debut. Santos Blue has won a point and had just one run in a bumper before joining Dan Skelton so is worth a second look.
