Returning to the smaller obstacles, Interdit has been given a chance by the Handicapper (7lb lower than when he last raced over hurdles), but he has never been one to rely on. Vert Espere could be the one to beat. He will be happier back over this trip and although he is 7lb higher than his last winning mark, he is probably more reliable than most. My Good Son, who showed a bit more last time and Jolly John, who goes well for his amateur, are others who should be involved.
