Bumper winner Everyonesgame has been a shade disappointing so far over hurdles but this affords a good opportunity. Hurricane Le Dun will need to up his game but that’s perfectly possible given connections. MAX’S CHAMP wasn’t disgraced again at Chepstow last time and his proven stamina could be an asset under today’s conditions. Southwell second Another Day Out and Pippin Took, who had only one run in bumpers, add to the interest.
