Get your pin out to try and find the winner of this very trappy contest, but if pushed into making a selection we'd support BRAVE BUGSY ahead of Plenty Of Chat and Diktatorship. It wouldn't be a massively confident selection though, given that it's a big step up in trip, but Tony McCoy looks a significant jockey booking for Andrew Balding. A winner at Bath a couple of weeks ago, it's a first go over hurdles for nearly two years, and the first time ever at this trip. Plenty of Chat hasn't win since losing his maiden tag at the first time of asking back in Ireland, but has been placed on two runs to date for Tim Vaughan. The step back up to three miles looks a positive move. Diktatorship was well down the field in a better race than this here last time out, but a step up to this distance for the first time in lesser company may have the desired effect. We wouldn't be surprised whatever were to be first home, but we'll side with Brave Bugsy.
