Tempo Chapter Two has been unplaced in all three starts over fences though has run better than form figures imply. LOOK DONT TOUCH is 0-21 but has done better over fences and has been narrowly beaten in two of his last three so looks the one to beat. Dual hurdles winner Clever Currency has only shown moderate form over fences and Berliet Express has had 19 starts over the bigger obstacles without winning though wasn't beaten far in both runs last month.
