Lostintranslation ran very well behind Tuesday's Exeter winner Dynamite Dollars at Chepstow and shouldn't be long in shedding his maiden tag but could be up against a smart recruit here in CLAIMANTAKINFORGAN (NAP). Third in the Champion Bumper at Cheltenham in March, that race always produces a raft of top-class novice hurdlers and Nicky Henderson's charge may still have been feeling the effects of that run when only fifth subsequently at Aintree. Mere Ironmonger is worth a second look but likely to need this.
