Daranova has changed stables and is having a first run since June last year. Faitque De L'isle also returns from a lengthy break and is making his debut over fences for a new yard. On The Bandwagon is another making his chasing bow but he has placed in a point. A switch to fences at Leicester appeared to suit COUPDEBOL and he can make the most of that experience now to see off Sedgefield runner-up On Springs and Ambion Hill, who fell when favourite at Exeter having finished second earlier at Ludlow.
