Tel'Art has only placed three times in eight starts over fences and Seymour Promise has yet to win a race but Loved Out was successful over hurdles last year, though doesn’t really have a chasing pedigree. Gamalou D'Alene has won a point but is yet to place under Rules so JUNIOR MASSINI is fancied to complete his hat-trick despite a further 4lb rise.
