Saint Romble will not get many better opportunities and he can provide another winner for Richard Johnson and Philip Hobbs. He knows what it takes to win having won at Ascot in December. Atalya comes here fit and well and is slipping in the ratings. Optimistic Thinker has also nosedived in the ranks but hasn't shown much in the way of form for a year now. On official ratings, you cannot rule out L'Etang Bleu and Guignol du Cochet.
