Verdict

Our Power won easily on debut and was then second at Exeter to Saturday’s Cheltenham runner-up Fanfan Du Seuil. STYLE DE VOIE was all out to win at Newcastle but the second finished close-up in a Grade 2 at Doncaster at the weekend so the form looks decent and Nicky Henderson has won this three times in the last 10 years with a French-bred. So Enjoy ran better than the final result suggests in a Grade 3 at Fairyhouse last time and Pepper Street and Isaac Wonder were both placed on debut and are open to improvement. The Knot Is Tied has won three times over 2m on the Flat and was very consistent for Tim Easterby but may need the experience.
