Ten Pole Tudor would have claims on his best form here but is hard to catch on a going day. South Stack is another with two ways of running and Get Home Now probably needs to improve again on his second over a shorter trip here last time. Boa hasn't really sparkled over hurdles so Philip Kirby may hold the key to this. Ikitview won here last month but we prefer stablemate SLEEPING POLICEMAN who has always looked likely to be suited by a step up in distance and gets one today.
