Six Of Clubs won a chaotic renewal of this race last year when most of the runners temporarily pulled up to avoid a faller. Prince Charlemagne was back in third on that occasion but both have something to find on latest running with WALDSEE. The latter also beat Blue Cossack and Delorain when landing a double over 2m at Lingfield last month and a hat-trick looks on the cards in his current form. Stablemate Sainglend has been in winning form over hurdles of late and can also figure along with Uncut Stone.
