Kempton fourth Le Dauphin looks the pick of Nicky Henderson's two runners, ahead of newcomer Jenkins. Cash Again made a winning start in France back in November but may not have achieved much and has a penalty on his first start for Paul Nicholls. Reilly's Minor and The Poodle Faker have shown some ability while Black Country Boy only found one too good at Southwell in February. INSTINGTIVE tried to run out at Chepstow last time so did well to get back on even keel and finish in the money. The winner that day is held in high regard and Harry Fry's charge could go close in this if proving more tractable. Gulshanigans has an interesting pedigree and may be the pick of the debutants.
