Something of a minefield with no runner having scored over jumps or been placed when last seen. Inchester D'amsyl is probably going to prove one of the more popular options in view of connections and because he only has four starts in the book and could progress from this mark. However, he has pulled up and come home ninth of 13 the last twice and it's hard to construct a convincing case. Our Dylan didn't go too badly two starts back and had some fair placed form in Ireland, but was pulled up latest at Worcester. One Man Party has shown a little and is not badly treated and Blazing Court hinted at ability on his seasonal bow. SIR CANFORD is a tentative choice though as he's in good hands, hasn't been disgraced the last twice and actually has a couple of Flat victories on his CV.
