MOUNT VESUVIUS and Dry Ol'party finished 1-2 over this track and trip three weeks ago. The second is 4lb better off for just over two lengths and has since just been touched off at Worcester but the winner can score again having been mugged right on the line off this mark at Fontwell last week. It’s almost two years since Tempuran last ran over hurdles but he's been in fair form on the Flat this year and makes more appeal than the disappointing The Way You Dance.
