Deyrann de Carjac wasn’t beaten that far when only fifth at Wetherby last month and can figure in this. But DANNY KIRWAN also has a recent run under his belt and this drop back down to his winning trip will suit Paul Nicholls’ charge. Le Ligerien rattled-up a hat-trick over fences at the start of the year though remains 6lb higher than his latest success while Magic Dancer has struggled since winning at Cheltenham last November and Hatcher has failed to build on a good effort at Fakenham in June.
