A massive field but few with realistic chances. Found A Fifty went for £180,000 after landing a point at Boulta by 15 lengths and started odds-on for a bumper here last month but found one too good. This is much more likely to be his game as it is for HOULANBATORDECHAIS. A dual bumper winner in France, he ran in Grade 1 and 2 company in his two bumper starts in the spring and should find this company much more to his liking. The hugely expensive Lets Go Champ hasn't run since landing a point at Bartlemy back in 2019 but is still young enough to make his mark while Elsannah looks best of those with hurdling experience though that isn't saying much.
