Lowanbehold goes well here but this looks an insufficient test of stamina. Beau Sancy is having a first run since well beaten at Market Rasen on Boxing Day but Cultram Abbey won over track and trip last month, his second course victory. VIENS CHERCHER (NAP) ran well over 3m at Uttoxeter after scoring over a slightly shorter trip at Stratford and looks to have rediscovered his best form so should prove hard to beat with Blue Kascade the first beaten at Perth 10 days ago and Elusive Theatre apparently also out of sorts.

Elusive Theatre (IRE) 50-1 (10-5) Reluctant to race and slowly away, always behind, 10th 4 out, no impression from next, never a factor, 7th of 15, 31 1/4l behind Moyhenna (11-4) at Punchestown 2m 5f hcp Good - Yielding in May.
