Dante Hall is 'thrown in' on his chasing form so needs close inspection in the market however REGAL APPROACH is fancied to beat Rebeccas Choice and Mr Mackay. The selection actually finished behind Rebeccas Choice when the duo were beaten by Qaspal last month, however he is better off at the weights today and that may be enough to reverse the placings. He stays well so this longer trip will also be in his favour and a bold bid is expected. Harouet represents top connections but he doesn't really strike as crying out for this longer trip, so a bigger threat may be Borero on this return to hurdling as he looks attractively treated on this return to action. Rebeccas Choice stays well and certainly wouldn't mind any further rain, although he has gone up 24lbs for a profitable five months. Outlaw Tom is interesting if the going stays quick as he hated the ground at Chepstow last time out, Hideaway looked one-paced last time so this longer trip may suit, whilst Coda Agency won tidily at Kempton on the flat last time out and is handicapped to strike over hurdles as well. Mr Mackay and Henry Hook both come here on the back of good efforts in defeat, however the tentative vote is given to Regal Approach.
