Paul Nicholls has won four of the last eight runnings and sends out the newcomer Fazakerley and the penalised Bol D'air, a bumper winner in France. But VIEUX LILLE may prove best in this having placed in all three starts to date and finishing ahead of a couple of subsequent winners when second at Haydock in April. Big Chief Benny has a shout on his earlier second at Warwick while Cornish Warrior is related to a bumper winner and Rebecca Curtis' charge makes most appeal of the newcomers ahead of Bramble Brook and Chelsea Flyer.
