School Days Over has to give 7lb to his rivals courtesy of a win at Market Rasen in May, though Jack Hogan claims all of that back. Big Fish and Highway One O Four are both full brothers to winning hurdlers and Equinus, Pic Roc and Katate Dori are all worth a second look if the market speaks in their favour. Larchmont Lass is jumps bred but it may be worth trusting the judgement of Nico de Boinville, who has chosen the Montmartre gelding IMMORTAL ahead of Ted Da Titan.
