In depth

Verdict

The consistent Engai probably deserves a change of luck while Staigue Fort has been placed in his last couple of starts and shouldn't be far away again. Neither Quadriller nor Rifle Shot can be left out of calculations and Thunder Sheikh was third back over hurdles at Newton Abbot last time. But we'll be surprised if Flat winner HYPERLINK can't find the necessary improvement to play a significant part in proceedings. The faster ground will help his cause and he would have finished closer at Ludlow last time but for being hampered.
