Border Breaker drops again in distance having been well beaten at Ludlow but Remiluc split the useful Vago Collonges and Rock The Kasbah here last time and has to go on the short-list while Ludlow third Polo and Sword Of The Lord are likely improvers. German import Floresco hasn't been beaten far in either start over timber but LAC LEMAN (NAP) won twice in a short career on the Flat in Germany. He was snapped up by Graham Wylie in the autumn and sent to Paul Nicholls - expect him to make a name for himself over hurdles, starting here.
