This should concern Try Catch Paddy and Loup Charter, with the last named given the vote. Henrietta Knight's stable is now getting into top gear and Loup Charter made a very pleasing British debut when comfortably beating Blue Endeavour. The runner up has since let the form down, but Loup Charter was given a very gentle introduction to hurdling but still managed a smooth victory. There should be any amount of improvement to come and he is a confident choice. Try Catch Paddy has a similar profile to the selection having stayed on well to win a modest contest at Plumpton. He looks to have bags of stamina and should be the one to chase home the selection. Reflected Glory is an interesting newcomer from the Paul Nicholls yard so should be respected, but Loup Charter could be a star in the making and gets the decision.
