King D'argent was fifth upped in trip at Perth on his reappearance but only fifth off this mark over track and trip in February. KANNAPOLIS was making his handicap debut over hurdles and clear of the third when finding only one too good at Wincanton and he can race off the same mark here so must have a decent chance of going better. It’s about time Sorbet was opening her account but she’s been raised 3lb since her latest course and distance second while Flat winner Lucky's Dream showed only modest form over timber first time around. Karakoram and Peat Moss are both fitted with headgear but are race-fit unlike Henri Le Bon.
