Last month's Kelso runner-up Quel Elite looks to be improving but Pyjama Game has proved a little disappointing in bumpers and is probably best watched on his hurdling debut. Dancing Art also has a bit to prove now so this may rest between WHAT A WARRIOR and Erins Stage. AP McCoy takes the ride on the latter, who won a point-to-point in Ireland in February and was sent off favourite for a bumper at Downpatrick last month. But the former, who has already won a NH Flat race and is from the same family as Scottish National winner Joe's Edge, will relish this step up in trip on his hurdles bow.
