A competitive heat with five individual winners in opposition. French import Korelo won a poor race in good style and is capable of improvement, but he will need to if he is to defy his penalty. Toulouse is a fine stamp of a horse and will make a chaser in time. He has proved he handles the track, having been placed in a bumper here. Madam Flora impressed when bolting up over course and distance last time, but she has more on in this, while dual bumper winner Mind How You Go could have found an easier race to start over hurdles. Josh Gifford had the useful Kopek in this at the five-days, but relies on Alpine Slave, who is one to keep an eye on. Desmond Tutu got tired in the testing conditions at Folkestone and should do better on this ground, but the vote goes to Amplifi, who will find this much easier than when chasing Supreme Novices fancy Chauvinist home at Newbury on his debut.
