Modest selling fare with Callhimwhatyouwant another possible for the Newland team but he didn't find too much last time behind Belle De Fontenay although this longer trip could be in his favour. He's certainly shortlisted, as is Lauberhorn, usually thereabouts in this grade. Neverownup was better last time behind Jigsaw Financial in handicap company and could get involved whilst Run Along Boy hasn't been seen over timber for 10 starts so is hard to evaluate. LOOSE PREFORMER hasn't gone on since landing a Wetherby novice hurdle in May and actually looks to have regressed. However, he's still been running well enough to suggest a contest such as this is within his capabilities. A market check on Illysantachristina on debut for Rebecca Curtis with the champion jockey aboard is essential and support could alter the complexion of this event.
