Template and Athou Du Nord were both pulled up last time but are eased in grade and capable of going well in this if in the mood. So is Discay, though he's been on a downward curve for a while. Sinakar has won on the Flat and was second on his only previous try over hurdles while Gentleman Moore arrives off the back of a victory at Ffos Las. In a fairly competitive seller, we'll take Worcester second FOUNTAINS BLOSSOM to return to winning ways as the softer ground here will help.
