The returning Arthamint had a consistent record last season. Clubs Are Trumps could bounce back to form at any time while French Seventyfive is better than he showed last time. Schindler's Prince has been enjoying an Indian summer but the handicapper has taken note and he may be worth opposing today. LOVE THE LEADER only had two runs over fences last year but beat a decent sort in the first of those. He looked on the way back when second over hurdles at Southwell last month and should be in the firing-line here with his yard in cracking form.
