In depth

Verdict

Symphorine was well beaten in handicaps before winning a selling hurdle at Exeter and the penalised Fame And Fun is preferred on a recent victory at Wincanton. Just Loose Change placed again at Fontwell last time and drops back down in trip but SONNEMOSER (NAP) is due to be raised 3lb for a recent second at Huntingdon when beaten less than a length and gets the vote to go one better in this. Titanium Bullet drops back down a grade and looks best of the rest.
