Placed in both runs over fences so far, Supervisor is one of the few in this with chasing experience. On The Platform is another and could also go well but CRYSTAL MOON ran his best race to date over hurdles on his final start last season and the five-year-old has been very lightly campaigned. Horizon D'Ainay’s dam won four times over fences so he is worth a second look as is Kim Bailey’s Inflagrante.
